Relaxing

I'm going to write a poem to relax.

I've never done that before.

Usually, I get myself all keyed up.

I try to squeeze the orange.

I get a drop or two of water from the stone.

I wax on and on like peanut butter on the sternum.

It's really a bunch of horseshit.

I had to insult myself at the end just to make it 

have a punchline.

Why must we insult ourselves?

Is it some cheap, super cheap

like Motel 6 on a rainy night cheap

form of humility?
