You know
it is a hard night
when things
beneath the surface
swim like sperm
making their way
from Chicago
to San Francisco
focused
no second thoughts
on conception
at all cost.
Waking
having spent the night
in
a labor camp
you wonder how
you are going to
get through the day
with
a low grade headache
that makes
even getting out of bed
a pain in the ass.
