The Weekend

The weekend

Freeway blowout
Center divider
Or hard shoulder?

Time lapse!
For the dramatic
Stop – roadside – halt—
Stillness – silence – police – sirens
Sober –sober –sober—
Still sober, you got that?

Knock out on the couch
For a hour or so—
Next scene—car won’t start
All over—all over!
Back to apartment
Filthy apartment
Holes in the walls.

Her place – studying
Exhaustion sets in
Sleep—sleep
Three hours nap
Back to the apt
CleanCleanClean
Sleep—sleep.

Sunday morning – Sabbath
A quick ride to work
Thanks, you are great!
Work – work – work
Build personal books
Leaving early – she’s here.

At parent’s house
Church – preach — pray
Dinner – nicely cooked
Back to the apt
Filthy apartment.

Pop new hole in bathroom
Rage at everything
Strewn anywhere
Sleep – sleep.
