I'm just frustrated today.
I woke up with two left feet
and a bag full of wrongdoings.
My coffee spilled on my dress.
My Amazon package is a soggy glob,
And nothing's fitting into my boss's schedule.
I'm just frustrated and it's only 9:30.
What's in store for 10, 10:30 and the rest of my day that barely started?
I only have 2 feet 'to left,'
One coffee to spill,
And no more amazon packages to ruin.
Yet something inside me- that mounting frustration
Tells me, there's still a lot to wrong today.
And a lot more frustration to come...
Keep another foot handy
And maybe don't attempt another coffee.

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.

Yep! Well said!
Oh no, I'm so sorry you're having a rough day. I hope it gets better for you
One of those what else could go wrong days. . Hang in there. Such an enjoyable poem, I laughed but my wife says I have a warped sense of humor. Enjoyed it - You have a way of making people laugh even though you are having a bad day.
Ugh- hope you feel better…
So relatable...well, except for the dress :) Great work!
Wow try not let the small things ruin your day. Anyway this poem is relatable, we all have our days.
