Today I Listened to Country Music

it's 7 in the evening on a sunday night
the week stretches on ahead looking like the sahara
and i have done no work

instead i'm sitting in bed still in last night's tshirt
a sweater and my blankets
and listening to country music

where did that come from
i don't like country music but
there's something to be said about slow songs drawled out 

and alone in bed it feels like a wave washing 
over me and drowning out the feelings
that have been overpowering my existence all week

it is cold outside and i should 
shower and begin work before it gets too late
and i slip into unconsciousness
