There Are Times...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

           When you look sleep in the eye
            and then you kick it in the ass.



I huffed and puffed and blogged my way through November
in response to a death in the family

I did not lose a parent, sibling, spouse, or offspring.It was much worse than that:
I lost a hard drive.

My computer lost all of its limbs but I got
only one prosthetic device installed.

Until today...after 101 minutes with Apple tech support.
I am no longer capable of hating Apple products.

The tech woman excavated my MacBook
without getting her hands–nor mine–dirty.

Prosthetics be damned:
she found Bookie's
arms and legs.

Yesterday, awake for fourteen hours,
I smoked ten cigarets: a record low!

Midnight is 2.5 hours from my door.
I will smoke at least ten cigarets
by the time it gets here.

Billie Holiday
There are five Billie Holiday albums
on my CD carousel and each song
will spin around my ears.

Lap after lap.
