non-prayer

I woke up this morning,
and the day went downhill from there:

another disappointment,
another non-answer to another non-prayer;

nothing ever seems to happen on time anymore:
it's always wait, wait, wait;

and now I'm tired of waiting too;
I was tired of everything else already

so I guess it serves me right;
I'm thinking that I'll say another non-prayer
when I go to bed tonight

it couldn't help, so maybe it could hurt.
