Waking up at 10

realizing I have the bed to myself

its a huge relief

 

My car,

parked mostly in the driveway

is just a bonus 

 

So many Sundays are ruined by 

bad choices: 

friends,  strangers,  lovers 

 

All of them with misguided intentions

taking my words at face value

as if I really wanted their company

 

The girl in my mirror, 

honest to a fault

knows better

 

 

 

 

 

 



I leave the party at 3 A.M

Alone, thank God
