Yesterday when I woke up

I thought I was going to see

A friend.

After checking my e-mail

I also thought I had found

An apartment in Chicago

And a blue VW van to buy.

Plus,

Breakfast was delicious.

As the day progressed

Things didn’t look as bright.

Everything fell through

Though I guess

I still have taste buds

On my tongue,

And I did make a ton

Of quinoa salad

For today.

I will need energy

Since I’m starting from scratch

Again.

It sort of stopped being funny

Long ago.

My frontal lobes

I assure you

Are intact.
