Saturday night strolled out of his hovel
to stretch himself against the stars
and contemplate the huffiness
of Thursdays. Wednesdays
were days for sleep; but Thursdays
led to a prompting of muscles
and an exaction of expectation. Thursdays
were a wetness on his fingers that
he wondered
did it feel like sweat or like blood?
no matter; it was neither. But a feeling on
his hands left him
unsettled? perhaps. Perhaps only
tired
tired of sleeping
and waiting for things to go the way
they are supposed to go. So he stretched his back
and yawned howlishly into the still air. Oh
Well. Back to sleep. Nothing doing out here. Perhaps
day after tomorrow or the next, whenever. The day
will come. What was I dreaming of? A star? a night?
Something. Perhaps tomorrow
Saturday night coils himself in his lair while Thursday
spins out nightmares to play across his rude brow, thinking
Perhaps Saturday does not know what being Thursday is like
and thinking
Perhaps I will show him





What it's about
