I began the day
no – the day began
me
o p e n i n g – closing – o p e n i n g – closing – o p e n i n g – clo –
give me those lemons – the l e m o n a d e
looks fresher in Greek – λ ε μ ο ν ά δ α
that said, I’m not sure if it tasted fresher when
my mum got stung in Athens that day
it reminds me of the p o k e button
on bad old facebook – you know, that kind of stuff:
you ask w h y m e
the answer is it’snotaboutyou
so you go see someone
and they – sometimes – say:
massaging with butter is all you need to heal the scars
at least that’s what J e n n y the good old nurse had said
sometimes it’s that e a s y
sometimes it’s not
sometimes you get poked by the M e d usa
sometimes you don’t
no way to know, but
yes – the day will begin
you
