arbitrary day in poetry

It was Talk Like A Pirate Day a few days ago
which was, of course, was desperately annoying
a lot of people took the thing too farrrrr
look around, you know who you arrr
do pirates have Talk Like You’re Not A Pirate Day
do pirates end up just annoyed by it
as we do, is it on par?
I’m sure that they are
I’m sure that they are

More importantly,
it is Schrodinger’s Cat Awareness Week.
Also,
it is not Schrodinger Cat’s Awareness Week.
We cannot know for sure unless
we open up out appointment books to check
but then we’d know all of the other
commitments that we missed this week
to instead goof off online to find
out what kind of idiotic
commemorative weeks it is
so it’s better not to know.

Today is It’s Better To Not Know What Day It Is Day
today is simply Day Day
today is the day when everyone just treats
today like a normal old vanilla day
will we even know what it’s like
to have a day that isn’t some kind
of day that belongs to something else?
Something important or something silly?
Something profound or something profane?
I have no idea how we’re supposed to handle
it just being Day Day
but I know it will somehow be
special.
