beautiful day

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
