A Playlist and a Story

It’s dark when I wake up; I hit the snooze                                                                     too many times each morning. 

                                            Yes, I eat
way too much pizza, and drink bottled booze
to Himalayan excess.  
                                This repeats
each week right through the winter, while I wrest
or, really, try to wrest, control of ME
from withered hands of boredom.  
                                               I confess
to list’ning idly in my room to trees
that, leafless, windblown, scratch my windowpanes.  
Some music, yes, that’s it, with sun and breeze
built in, like Lennon & McCartney’s “Penny Lane.”
    That song we all know makes us think of summer
    So check this out, I know winter’s a bummer.
