Sore Toe, Steaming Coffee

My toe just stubbed the stubborn 
                                                  piano's iron foot;
                                            it really hurts, torments 
                                                 like a cigarett butt;

                                      stay home, don't walk, doc said, 
                                              take a day off or more;
                                     I tried, but now I'm bored to death, 
                                                       not only sore.


                               But boredom quickly breeds some crazy 
                                                  thoughts, you see;
                                    it seems my sleek ergonomic chair 
                                                         sits on me

                                            as I mull on my desuetude 
                                                           in ennui
                                        and ache to be stirred as sugar 
                                                  in steaming coffee !
