when you wake up
and see the last remnants
of a bottle of gin
on the counter
and you can barely
remember the sex from last night
and you know you posted
some crazy shit online
and didn’t brush…
and there’s half a quesadilla on top of the dresser… and you have a headache
and you check your texts…
and you swear to god you’ll
drink seltzers for a week
well
that’s not even the worst of it
because when you peel back
the curtain
and you see your neighbor out
on his driveway
standing by his cadillac
the one you could never afford
he has his hands on his hips
he’s confused
there’s a penis keyed
into the driver’s door
and there’s a tv
sticking out of the windshield
why the hell is there a tv
sticking out of the windshield
and you realize it’s your tv
and it’s going to be a shitty day
