Thoughtless


Thursdays
The ones that are supposed to be thoughtless.
Submerged in spirit, removed from identity.
The day that the Guru loves -
Occurring mid way, like crisis' contra-entry
Thursdays make everything special
That scoop of ice cream tastes creamier
A new scarf wrapped around the neck
lends a special flair.
That phone call to a dearest,
Wait, even a heart wrenching loss
Becomes soul drenching on this day.
Morning sun filtered through blinds
Catching a gleam on the china
Making the cup transform into a work of art!
It’s got to be the day!
"Wow" I gasp.
The bystander offspring makes an eye roll
"Mother, you are an abuser of Wows"
"On top of being an abuser of that phone cam"
"Why would you click pics of critters and cups?"
"Of the boring and the blah??"
The teen didn’t get the memo looks like!
It’s a Thursday.
It’s like putting a monkey on substance
When you put her Mom in a Thursday.
And what better day to complete a one hundred?
Here goes the century
The celebration.
The supposedly thoughtless
Meditative, non contemplative
Irony’s lost child
Yelling in triumph that
It’s a Thursday.
And on this day,
Blah should sound like Bliss.
And a teacup should look like the Taj!
It should, it should. It has no choice.
