He touched her
gently-
it had been a while
since
gently
He spoke calmly-
all is not
lost
His boy smiles,
rolls over
and falls asleep
There is no
tomorrow-
only
this
and now
“The sun even shines
on a dogs ass some days,”
his friend tells him
Not like that
anymore
A simple thread
in a much larger
fabric
No
extremes

Bukowskiesque,
And so very, very true.The sun even shines

Some of it must have happened, He thought. It can’t ALL have been a hallucination…unless this is part of it, and I’m really in one of the rubber rooms up in Cedar Rapids, wrapped in a straitjacket and only imagining I’m lying here in my own bed.
