I shouldn’t go to work today but I have to pay for my son’s mental health treatment and I can’t forget the water leak tick, tock. That damn water dripping all last night and a cold shower has really made my veins feel extra blue. Yet what froze me in my footsteps is they let Joe out of prison on no bail as he looked at me with laughter tick, tock. Today, I just found out my wife breast cancer has metastasis, and this damn insurance won’t cover new treatments. It feels as if everything in my life is out of control. I just hope you won’t be that tock that finally ticks me off.
FOOTNOTE- There will be a right foot walking in an entirely different direction tonight.
