Christmas is Coming
four-thirty sunset
seven-thirty sunrise
eternal darkness
Three cups of coffee
my sleepiness still prevails
I prepare a fourth
Four cups of coffee
my sleepiness still prevails
now a stomach ache
business casual
looking fly in my silk tie
but where is my belt?
Ediety knot
holy grail of necktie knots
practice makes perfect
Grey
angry and sleepy?
everything is overcast
tea isn’t helping
miniature cookies
why did I take so many
to eat only one?
empty restaurant
ipod plays my radio
heard it all before
Gambling
smokey poker room
I sit reluctantly
—lose predictably
seek comfort in food
the Bellagio buffet
got my money’s worth
