A HAPPY HOUR OF ONE'S OWN

how good to get home and close the door

double-lock it and let the world -at-large

swallow healthy doses of your shit


while you get comfortable

(out of your daily uniform

stretch a little and unwind and maybe even


pour a drink or fire up a dube

(as you choose) and just for a few hours

say aloud "To hell with God and His shabby plan"


and all your fellow asshole creatures can join Him

you've suffered to no relief but exhaustion

you've done more than your share and still


all God knows how to do is harry you unmercifully

but for these few 'eternal' hours all of that goes aside


how good to get nice and renew yourself for insufferable life
