will i,
once i get back,
be back into
some semblance
of a morning
habit
with these words?
that would be nice
that would be nice

evening poems
while william shatner
tells me all the unexplained mysteries
i should care about
but i simply
don’t
~~~
big yawns
and split-up sleep
and hopefully getting
the cat to eat
or take her meds
at least
[almost done with this trip
and i’m so excited to sleep
in my own bed
once again]
~~~
but seeing people has been absolutely lovely —
i wouldn’t exchange that
for anything
[even eight uninterrupted hours]
what a nightmare
of a night
what with screaming cats
and whining puppies
and keeping us up all night
[especially when we were both so excited
to go to sleep so early
and sleep in just a bit]
but
but
but
however
i’d rather have these animals
and have them interrupt our sleeps
with their hassles
than not have them at all
and that’s the truth
[damn, love is crazy]
traveling
and writing
only really works
when you’re not the one
driving
traveling
for a short weekend
away
isn’t the worst decision
to do so
to Boston
the weekend of
St. Patrick’s Day
and to inadvertently book
a hotel stay
in the heart of Irish Pub town
that maybe was a mistake…
