Runner Runner

Two hours of sleep
after a night of tilting

everyone catching runners
against me

as Chicago saw its
worst blizzard in 3 years

my socks are wet
my eyes tired

Being card dead in December
gives you that special feeling

of existential despair
that normally comes post-masturbation

socks wet

eyes tired

I’m running to work

broke

the newspaper lady
at the Metra station yells:

“Happy Friday everyone!”

Lucky girl

She plays Uno
