my favorite soft and worn shirt
kind of sums up my whole day.
teriyaki everywhere
a trail of drips
followed me down the hall
leaving a mark
the scene of a fresh crime.
some days are just like that.
tomorrow i’ll start again
i’ll eat something without sauce
wear something soft and worn
hoping for a return to comfort.

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
That’s what God gave us laundry spot removers for! Life’s too short to give up on teriyaki–even for beloved old shirts.

Beyond the broken porthole
I stand on a basin pedestal
I’m going down with the ship
I was left in a mess yesterday
And left my shirt in the bathroom
Drowning in the blue lagoon
