Closing Time
it was a bad night
and today is a vary bad day-
Sunday
hangover
shaking hand
pain
and I try to listen to Wagner and
Carl Orff
but it doesn’t help
and I try to watch Brando in
Apocalypse now but it’s useless
and I try to read Hemingway
but it’s no help at all
just an endless day
outside
the little girl laughs
and the boys smile
and the sun looks to me
like an enemy.
