The Underwear from Last Night
my hair smells,
and I’m not in the mood to get out of bed,
or change my clothes,
but it would always be worse
like the one time my friend Pete,
from childhood,
the one I decided I never wanted to see again
when he started hanging out with his lacrosse friends
and never wanted to play Super Mario Bros.
anymore,
well, he once went an entire summer without
changing his underwear,
though I don’t think I ever got that bad
at times I think I’ve wanted to,
but maybe it’s time I go downstairs,
put my brain to work,
maybe try to invent something that never existed,
maybe teleportation,
maybe a way to communicate with quarks,
or possibly a pair of underwear that never
goes bad
