Maggie

Leaning into yet another evening
wafting through this new existence
considering whether to waste a gorgeous evening
torn up in my dimly lit basement
watching a Ralph Steadman documentary 
listening to Towns Van Zandt
smoking overpriced sage
drinking milk powder and cheap vodka
or
plod through the VA parking lot
fatter than ever
but happy as can be
with my sweet pup, Maggie.
