Barefoot and Mostly Naked

He sits at the edge of a dark

Lonely place

Wondering if a soul

In this world is

Thinking of him

Worries over him

Or Cares

He figures

Not so much, and

It is only reasonable

Fair and just

That this is the

Way it should be.

Nighttime comes

Mercury

Moonrise

Venus, then Mars

Now the other two-

Jupiter and Saturn

It is late September and

He is overwhelmed.

Three weeks

On the bathroom floor

And crying.

Still,

He has no right

To complain.
