Poem a Day, Day 26

This challenge was to use the phrase "I'm so over (____)". Yeah, this came easy.

I'm so over this apartment!


It's not my own.

Might as well burn my paychecks

I'd love to give the foul-mouthed

neighbor a poke in the eye

I'm trying to play with my kid, you-


Deep breath

It's not so bad

If something breaks, just call

maintenance

Wish they spoke English

Wish they didn't use material

from the lowest bidder


Deep breath

Wish the neighbors didn't

throw their cigarette butts everywhere

Deep breath

I mean really, do we have to live in an ashtray?

Deep, deep breath

It really isn't that bad-

Someone parked in front of my garage again!


I'm so over this apartment!
