Ash Wednesday! Some Summer

Written By: Ash Catcher

You played on stage, and I got a raise. 
Life is kinda sorta weird these days, all I want to do is sleep in and blaze. 
I guess you could say we are killing it at “this thing”. 
Been a minute since I thought the date was still 2019. 

Take a day off because it’s been about 2 weeks. 
I couldn’t tell you the last time I got a decent night's sleep. 
Just another hour to sleep in,  hug you and the cat. 
The best time spent on myself, just now involves a top coat that is matte. 

Things are progressing. The year is almost through. 
Been avoiding my car lately, stagnant, forever parked coup. 
Something that I once loved, doesn’t hit like it used to. 
Driving reminds me of you, but it's really worth it when I do. 

Whenever I get a free day this summer. 
I hope to get out of here, a few distant zip code numbers. 
But it's okay, I am fine, working my ass off all the time. 
It's a long way to the top, but even longer from the bottom, so climb. 

This has been quite the year. 
Many leave, and disappear.
But that's fine, I am still around. 
Because I have nowhere else to be found. 

I am here for a bit, but not forever. 
 My new motto of 2021: whatever, whenever, wherever.
Be a little uncomfortable, don't always be you. 
I always splurge now, but never on cashews. 

It's too expensive, and I can't justify 
Spending 7 dollars. It seems like a lie. 
It's only nuts, what's the big idea! 
Trader Joes for every meal. 

What a time to try, and thrive. 
Heart made out like a hard drive. 
Cohabiting in this audacity. 
I am about to hit full level mental capacity.

- Ash
