Thursday

Not much happens on a Thursday
           and as today is Thursday
I’m not expecting too much to happen
           same old grey sky same old sun
struggling to make its presence felt

I look at this way :
           perhaps Thursday is the day
that the stars change gear
           in preparation for Friday
when everything seems to happen

On Fridays we all seem to enter
           a new phase in which our bodies
and our minds are driven
           by a rogue moon that just wants
to party all weekend long

There are deeper questions
           regarding infinity and mortality
the definition of truth and beauty
           and the importance of love in our lives
but today is Thursday
           and to be quite honest
I haven’t the heart to go deep
