Prose Poem: Cancel Me This.

 

@a_coletta



There has been no conflict in my life

since I canceled mornings.

No breakfast dishes to do.

No commuting worries.

My guilt about missing sunrises

has completely disappeared.

And I save money by not 

taking a shower or shaving.

I didn't realize how much my

razor blades were costing me

until I gave them up.

Now I soak my beard in 

linseed oil once a week,

and that's that. It

keeps out the voles.

I wouldn't tell this to just anybody,

but you have the power to cancel

your mornings, too.

Or afternoons. Or evenings.

And I'll tell you how to do it

during my next podcast.
