It’s 9am and I have already…shredded the toilet paper

And kicked around the litter from my litter box

I left my mark in my mom’s favorite slipper

I tore into the dry food bag and ate till I couldn’t

Sigh…now the rest of the day will just have to be ho-hum.

The mind going in merry-go-round circles

Breathe…wisdom brings clarity.
