Impromptu
My intentions today
are oddly singled out
as soon as they return
I have to get
another hit. Like every time
I'm in the bookstore
it's back to the bathroom
I go where somehow
the wifešs sleeping. Awake
in her somber
she mentions something
about taking out the trash
& smoke, so I have
one more drink
bring out the bottles
take another toke.
Then back to books
& onto the street for looks,
where I find my friends
especially, the old ones
who no longer live
but are alive
in someone else's heart.
In mine it's the usual
whom to meet
poets to greet
& then by surprise
it happens again. They
motion back to the room
he sticks the needle
you wrap the balloon
& by the look in my eyes
swamps of Louisiana reside.
