A paycheck short
The Hustler’s on T.V.
I pour a martini
too tired to shave
5 hours ‘til work
I make tomorrows spaghetti
it is November 28, 2008
the turkey is gone
I will be thankful if my paycheck gets here
before the rent check gets cashed
there is a slice of pie
I won $2.95 in poker today
I’m thankful for that
4 hours 30 minutes ‘til work
sleep
Tomorrow’s November 29, 2008
I’ll watch the History Channel
and toss cranberry sauce off the balcony
because the holidays are the holidays
celebrity deaths
socks
and slush
Some people run into each other
then it’s over
like rush hour
like this poem
