Lazy

(The Sunday After Thanksgiving)

Today
I am a slug;
Dragging,
Crawling,
Sliming my way,
Unattractively, through the hours.
Don’t care.
Beware.
Leave me be.
Can’t you see
That I’m liking it?
Lazy.
A slug;
Dragging, crawling
Sliming my way,
Peacefully unconcerned,
Blissfully unadorned.
Lazy, lazy, lazy,
Through this last carefree,
Quiet day.
