When the novelty wears off

& suddenly 
youโ€™re wrestling (again)
with the fucking fitted
bed sheet to tuck
the corner
under the fucking
mattress
so you can make
your fucking bed
& lie in it
& maybe someday
(soon) die in it
because anger
is a sorrow so deep
it wails & once
the wailing starts
it will never end
so good fucking luck
ever sleeping
sound again
in a wrinkled heap
on a bed
you didnโ€™t choose
& the edges
exposed
