Day 1:
Indistinguishable from the next
Yet placed in a pocket
Decisions made to be kept
Yet I feel I give nothing
For I am a stone after all
It's my life's work
To ponder my worth 
So tiring I mostly sit...

and not me
replacing Pope Francis's

flatulent poets floss their teeth
waxing lyrical strings
