Poem: "Day"

“Day”

Nothing makes sense
the sun is shining backwards
I have acquired a taste for you
and well-placed sarcastic one-liners

Warmth emanates from the oddest places
a couple dumpster drives in an nearby alley
as rats scurry in haste lest they be trampled underfoot
random strangers exchange looks and knowingly snicker

As I lay in bed
thinking of all the things
that we could do

I grab my pants
and an old shirt
wash my dirty face
and head out the door

The phone begins to ring.
