Poem: "Losing Stanley"

"Losing Stanley"

I hate my life, he says
as he drinks coffee
out of the same cup
that he has been using
for ten years

maybe he'll choose
to wear the tie with the fishes
with blue and red stripes

maybe he'll stand outside
for twenty minutes
while playing with his dog's
water bowl Frisbee

he wants to call Franny
and tell her that he's not coming
to the usual Scrabble marathon tonight

I watch him sometimes
waving at no one in particular.
