I wake up at 3 p.m.
avoiding all the daytime judge shows
with just enough time for a cup of coffee and a quick peek
at the women in scarves at the local produce stand
before the reruns
and I have no problem with taking a beer shit
as the world rages outside
disappointment in coffee bars
elation in drugstores
murder stocks a person of the week
Mark bought the good kind of toilet paper
double-roll with aloe
that’s the great part about having another drunk as a roommate
always good toilet paper
I call in
to file for more unemployment
cook brussel sprouts
check baseball trades
and crack an Old Style
I’ll get a job when I have to start using the store brand
that’s about the only literary advice I can give
