Cursed Day

Jupiter wasn't winking at me this morning.
In fact...I think Mars was jealous because
yesterday was too butter smooth
              too benevolent
(too easy)
so starting with my dreams this morning
Mars dished me a heaping dose of Life Isn't Always Fair
SO THERE.
Mars scowled, beginning with the same damned
dreams I can't shake
continuing with half-asleep grumbling
in a too small bed.
At work I bled as I colored. I ran out of red
and used black instead.
I sent Venus an e-mail asking for intervention.
Venus wasn't listening. Venus was shopping
for bath salts.
It's nobody's falt. Today is cursed. Yesterday
was blessed. McCartney sang it well.
But I've never liked that song.
