Welcome Back Monday

Tomorrow someone will piller me with pleasantries
and inquire with convival levity "how was your weekend?"

It will be Monday, and I will feel greedy. Maybe I will reply
"I want last weekend back." Who knows . . . what if

honesty serpents into my throat and I say "putting me
closer to the end" with a smile that only undercuts

the grimness a little. Maybe give the whole moment
a twist. How about a wink to retort the

perfect Monday morning question.
