A Lousy Day Poem by RIC BASTASA

A Lousy Day



got a neck collar
afraid of the water
the soap snugs
the shampoo seals
like a mouth not
wanting a word

there is no comb
for the hair
strangled last night
by hefty hands

half naked one
faces the monitor
without blinking

the toothbrush is dry
the toothpaste is bitter

coffee is cold
and the rice smells
the bacon is not crisp
the table is dirty

three flies make a feast
of the sunny side up egg
