run of the mill

not everything
needs to be
profound

not every day
not every night
not every poem

sometimes
you sit
and the cat
pushes
his asshole
into your face

sometimes
the pens
run out
of ink

and even
the tuna
goes bad
along with
the tomatoes
the mayonnaise
the wheat bread

and the water
sitting in
your glass
collecting dust

but that’s ok
because
not everything
needs to be
profound

so go and do
your laundry
make the bed
make another
shopping list
and buy
more
tuna
tomatoes
mayo and wheat bread

and don’t forget
the pens
for when something
profound does come along
