the throwaway

got at it,
did ya?
boy,
don’t I
know it
all too
well.
but
here’s
what you
do, take it
from me: do
whatever it is
you normally
do to wind
down the
day, say
prayers,
hop in
the tub,
get the
coffee
ready,
set the
alarm,
just
what-
ever.
then
you
plop
your-
self
right
down
in bed.
fluff up
your pil-
low, tuck
yer own
damn
self in.
and then,
off to dream-
land you go.
got that? I
certainly
hope you
do. nighty
night, now.
