at the end of Monday

at the end
of the day you lay out
everything
you've carried
for the last
ten hours.
you empty the pocket
of your coat,
gloves
and glasses.
you reach into
the pockets of
your pants
for loose change.
you set upon the dresser
the watch you wore,
the keys,
the money, the wallet.
you set your phone
on the counter,
toss into a bowl
the receipts from the food 
you ate,
then lie down.
some days are longer
than others.
