Morning Job

The first part is
To situate
Perhaps on the couch
For example.

The next part is
To alleviate
Tension in the gut
And the sacrum.

Relax! One could say
But the coffee's too strong.
The wrong places
Always play the wrong song.

And you've had enough
Of tough love
From above

Now you're wondering
About the rhythm
And rhyme scheme.

That's when you need
To take a break
And fake
A noble edition.

Consider the condition
You make a wish on,
Realize what
You should've written

Was a villanelle vision
But you've too much suspicion
Of strict structure
And would rather fight.

And then you remember
How your shrink
Scoffed and balked
At talk of the finer art.

He said
You'dve better
Consider what matters

And stop youthfully
Dreaming
