The Weekend that Evaporated..

The weekend evaporated even before

I could get a whiff of it- I am not sure

Of how time slipped out of my hands

Why I still feel drained, I do not understand..

*

I had lofty plans for rest and rejuvenation

And a firm resolve to not indulge in procrastination

There was a laundry list of chores to get through

About half of them I managed to do

Before I realized the two-day weekend

Had in the blink of an eye, come to an end

As far as rest goes, my sleep-wake cycle was thrown off gear

I am paying the price for it now, I fear

*

A mile or two I was supposed to run

I was supposed to spend time soaking up the sun

I had planned to try out recipes new

Regrettably, none of that I was able to do

*

It is Monday morning and I have woken up with dread

I am not looking forward to the week ahead

I want another chance at a weekend to set things right

But it is Monday, there is no weekend in sight…
