Monday
by Ed Higgins
Always in a hurry
to spoil your
weekend
Monday
morning
bursts in
like a
home
invasion
thug
brandishing
6 AM
as a
stropped
razor
to your
still
unshaven
face.

Author's Note
Up on Ascent Aspirations Magazine’s "Friday’s Poems" site for Oct. 17, 2017. Cracked me up when they took “Monday” for Friday’s Poems—the editor apparently has a wry/ironic side.

Resting is fleeting.*
Wry all around. Got me nodding and laughing. The verticality works, too.
I like the title and the "unshaven/face".
Nice.

(Go for the hard ending. "Neck" or "cheek" for example, are stronger than "face.")
Yes!
*Even if you don't shave!
Nice merging of form and content!
