Shhh. I’m about to wake up.
My legs are floating
out of bed—where is
yesterday? Who sold me
this trash? I will
not finish hammering
this shoddy life together.
All I really am doing:
drinking Tang
four days a week.
The most
important poem
I can write you says,
Pick up the kids.
I must be standing
in the attic
counting down to blast off.
A strange life they lead,
astronauts: mashed
potatoes and gravy
every meal.
