I've been there before.
Apr. 9th, 2009 08:39 pmFell behind on April poetry posting, but then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
copperbadge posted some awesome Taylor Mali, which reminded me of this poem. I have the text below the cut as well as a Youtube of it performed; it's cool to read but better absorbed as spoken word, to be sure.
Scratch & Dent Dreams
( Come on in, I’ve got a sale on scratch and dent dreams )

Today was a tough long day (bursting into a slow leak of tears in the middle of lunch at work is... awesome, really. Even more so when your mom and sister both tell you that it wasn't the best idea to cry at work. Thanks; figured that out myself, actually.) But tomorrow is Friday and I plant to treat myself to lunch and a pedicure and a nap. Hope all's well with you. If it isn't (which seems to be the alarming case for too many people right now) I suggest you go enjoy the "spontaneous" dance performance in a Belgian train station... to "Do Re Mi" from The Sound of Music. Priceless.
