it’s a beautiful day
and I’m high
cruising easy
in sunday a.m. traffic
I don’t mind my 13yr old car
no green in my vision
I’m not envious of anyone
you’re funny she says
she’s funny
and we laugh
at each other
and we’re glad
to have one another
it’s a beautiful day
and I’m high
money for the real market
solid food for a day
live vegetables
dead meat
and 2 bottles of cheap merlot
you’re crazy she says
she’s crazy
and we laugh
at each other
and we’re glad
to have one another
it’s a beautiful day
and I’m high
quarter shy of a bed with clean sheets
holes in my cheap sneakers
dept. store clothes
that hang on me like
rags thrown over jello
as I get softer with the years
you’re done for says
she’s done for
and we laugh
at each other
and we’re glad
to have one another
