One Of Those Days

It was one of those days when nothing went right.
Absolute chafing set in before night.

It was one of those days when sleep held the best.
Waking created an ugly war chest.

It was one of those days when gold turned to sand.
Reverse alchemy left an empty hand.

It was one of those days when push came to shove.
Options didn't fit any hand in glove.

It was one of those days when plans failed to work.
Reflexes shattered the common knee-jerk.

It was one of those days when clouds stole the sun.
Conflict ran halfway between all or none.

It was one of those days when grin changed to frown.
Helter-skelter blew a world upside-down.
