Utterly, Utterly Lazy
I can be utterly, utterly –
Quadruple utterly
Lazy.
That’s me.
Tempted to put on my shirt
Inside out,
Backwards, frontwards,
Not caring which route.
Tempted to not put my foot in my shoes,
But to bend the backs, break them
Or any way fake way to get into
Just ‘cause I cannot be bothered to take them
And put them on carefully.
Utterly, utterly is an unfortunate
Euphemized statement,
Meant to confess the degree
With a light delicacy.
Yesiree, that is the real me
Under it all,
Everything else being shawl
To disguise and protect it,
And that’s the absurdity
Of being lazy.
