It Was an Entirely Normal Day

Listen to poem:
The sky held up, still. The breeze blew on cue. The cloud stuck glued on blue. The bills came in mail. The toast was burned. The eggs had runny whites. The plants outside died. I missed the alarm. Kissed my beau. Kicked the cat. Spat on the mat. Waved goodbye, off to work. The day performed its ritual rehearsed to a tee, to be an entirely normal fit in every way, every day. Heard on the news: “Nothing unusual today, it's just normal." So today is yesterday. Yesterday is today. Perhaps we need a new script writer? For Hello! Ah So! Every day is different! You just dressed it up in the same thoughts, the same clothes, the same throws, the same tweaks and twerps, with same cast and plot on repeat, repeat, repeat, to make it fit just so, Ah So!, as entirely normal.
