the longest day on the couch

i'm more
tired doing nothing, than
i am working
all day
going to the post office,
the market,
the gas station,
then out to the stables
to feed the horse,
chasing
the flies away.
she nods, and hands
me the remote.
lying around is exhausting,
i tell her,
tapping her leg.
hey,
are you asleep already,
it's half past eight.
let's see if we can stay
up for the news,
it starts at ten today.
