Bad Poetry, Number One

Who says all poetry has to be good?

Late

2:27 a.m.
CSI, Season 2, Episode 10, “Ellie”, DVD playing
Sounds from the neighbor’s sprinklers drifting through the window
Along with a cool breeze

Scotch, Johnnie Walker, Red
3 shots and water — 2nd glass
My only company.

I lie.
Those things are just superficial company.

Real company:

Thoughts

Memories

Confusion

Regrets

Pain

2:43 a.m.
Sleep?

Hardly.
