Good Day/ Bad Day

Today, many Syrians will have a bad day; some

Muslims will have a good day; as for the Mexi-

cans, depending upon which region they are

From, it could go either way. Chief Joseph and

Thomas Edison, well for them and all who have

Departed, every day is the same. As for me, I

have arisen a bit weaker than yesterday. It’s

Nothing major, mind you, just another inch or

Two closer to the yardstick’s end. But who is

Taking measurements of such things, anyway?

For now, as I begin another day of my non-rigor-

ous routine, I shall choose the “good day” category

To ease my way through. And hopefully, a good

Day it shall be, should nothing fail mechanically,

Electronically or biologically upon which I depend.

I am neither Syrian, Muslim nor Mexican, so in that

Regard I’m good to go. As for the Chief Joseph and

Thomas Edison predicament, well, like any other day

On the unbiased, non-prejudicial planet, I’ll just have

To muddle through with the rest of you and take my
Chances.
