A Slight Overreaction

I sighed so heavily 
the curtains surrendered.

The cat filed a formal complaint.
Birds abandoned the island.
Three neighboring countries felt the emotional disturbance.

I cried once
and the ocean rose two inches.

My to-do list became sentient,
judged me openly,
then burst into flames out of sheer despair.

I drank one cup of coffee and briefly achieved telepathy.

The moon itself stopped mid-orbit to watch me overthink a text message.

By evening
I had survived seventeen tragedies,
four existential crises,
and one
missing sock.

Honestly,
I deserve a medal for making it through Monday.


With love
