Good Days

I spent the day ignoring your
calls
and drinking an unimaginable amount of
coffee
while writing
chapter three
in my
book.

I didn't think about my dirty
bathroom
or covering someone's
shift
or washing Heidi's
laundry
I just wrote
chapter three
in my
book.

And I don't feel
bad
not one
bit
that I couldn't help
you
them
they.

Instead
for once
without your
permission
I feel
liberated.

I feel
free.
