Monday
Finally, recognized as the first day of The week, the most popular day To surf online, to get sick, to Commit suicide. Like the tides Alternatively changing Between low and high, as if Preordained by the moon, shining As brightly above Virgil’s Rome As above the rice fields in my native village Tuesday A circle, full of masculine energy With an arrow shooting like a spear Pointing towards the upper right Always ready to war against Tiw Yes, it is high time for men to challenge And defeat all gods in an earthly battle Wednesday Is actually a winds-day, the time To labour, the time to go fasting Be it Woden or Mercury Our souls will be guided to our afterlife Upon our final departure, while People in the east are busy travelling Below the Water Star, or exchanging goods Under Buddha’s protection An exhausting day when we all outrun Ourselves afar, far before our own souls Thursday A sweet time to give thanks to natives In the new world, to recall eating fish before USSR’’s demise, to begin school in Thailand, to Cast votes in Britain, to commemorate Jupiter In east or west; this thirstday is a day of Thundering high in the sky, a day to Roar, to howl, to scream, to sing Friday The sensualist day of the week: Frigg’s day is black because Venice casts shadows around every body Today makes one itch everywhere because Jesus’s blood splashes onto our souls Today is full of muted noise because Fasting causes internal complaints Today is bitter because all evils and Devils lost their battles against Durga Today is stinky because workers from a bygone empire Are pissing freely on this POET’s day Saturday Fever.
