Don't know what it's doing.

GROUNDHOG

I have nothing to say
and that's not so okay
because the mornings are really not fresh
except for the ever-needy cat
kneading and needing
nothing like renewal happens here
like him I scratch around furniture
try to figure out what
I'll do today will money hold up
probably the same as yesterday
nothing--my life is a Seinfeld Experience
and my broken mainspring
feels so self-renewing that
I must study the calendar
on my computer to figure out
what day it is or put on TV news
and know that if it's shown this
is still a weekday so
do I need to go to the market
do I need to go anywhere
does another day of ageing
make it get any easier
or is boredom simply inert
a substanceless gas
no easier no harder just is?
