Great Catch

You’ve got a lot going on at the
other end of the couch.   This drink.
Pour another beer into the flame.

“I’m really in love,” he stutters.
Unless someone can prove other-
wise.   Unless breakfast is burning.

“I’m too old for this,” I kept
repeating to my brain.   An unfamiliar
phrase.   Four new wigs for Christmas.

Don’t be a replacement.   Economical
is comical.   Force the issue.   When
it cries make a note of it.
