HAVE YOU EVER HAD ONE OF THOSE DAYS?

ANNIHILATION

By Carolyn J. Christensen

Would that I could cry and scream

So hard that all the ugly thoughts

Would burst forth from my mind,

And the words would hit the wall

With such force, the letters

Would shatter and fall to the floor

Where I could sweep them up

In an old black coal scoop

And throw them where

They would burn

forever.

Oh, that I could.
