kamikaze drinks
in our moist palms
as the jukebox spits out
raw beats
here at the tavern
drinking for the hell of it
(mostly the boredom of summer)
we ignore the clocks face
upon the wall
and we lose track of ourselves
but a cigarette is in order
so we hightail it
outside
…next to the motorcycle shop
and light up
(with amazing gusto)
exhaling blue smoke
under the clouds of an wonderful evening
my lady declares that she never drinks this early
“never when the sun is still up there”
calling me a bad influence
she laughs and coolly takes a hit
from her freshly rolled cigarette
as I stand…weaving a bit
listening to her voice
…it smacks me in the heart
and I realize just how
pleased
I am to have her
on my side…my team
walking back into the bar
we hear the Eagles playing
and we decide quickly
to finish our drinks
and get home where
Don Henley will never harm us
and now
as the alarm clock ticks past
three in the morning
I can hear my girl
breathing lightly on the bed
and I am glad that
she is my sweetheart
I bring the pipe to my lips
and inhale deeply
(…hold it in now…)
completely satisfied with my life
yeah…for the first time in ages
I
am
pleased as punch
to be around
I blow the marijuana smoke out
and wonder if I should wake her up
from the nap she decided to take
she stirs under the sheets
as I kiss the tip of her nose
I hand her the wooden pipe
and watch as she applies the fire to the weed
and like two peas
in a pot pod
we enjoy the early morning
and promise each other
to watch the sun rise together
so we wait
and her hand rubs my thigh
as we sit side by side
on the front porch
the sun will rise
the sun will be here soon
and then we can sleep for good
we watch it rising
and decide that
the sun is just a ball of
beautiful boredom
so we rise from our chairs
and skip
(like fools…like morons)
to the bedroom
the two of us
on the bed
as the sunlight pours in
all over us
but
we sleep deeply
with my arm over her chest
and her stuffed animal
…her longest sleeping companion
lays silent in her arms
the day was a miracle
of joy and companionship
and I’ll even add a
yippee hooray
because it was just
that kind of day
