curl up in a ball on this couch that so gracefully jacked my back about two years ago.

tonight i await 12:20 for
their arrival
perhaps 1 before i rest

i cannot help but wonder
how as a college whippersnapper
i regularly made 4 with little problem

at 7 my peejays slip on
by 8 i’ve opened a beer
9 comes and i’ve gone
10 is only just in the way most nights

so the thought of staying awake
3 hours further
makes me want to rest
