the cool bed

you lie
down in your cool
bed.
thankful.
thankful for the roof
above
you, the food
in your stomach.
the fan
that spins
above your head.
you are grateful
for work,
for your son
who loves you
and you in return
love him
without compromise.
the list is long
and you'll be
fast asleep
before you get
to end of friends
that are
bookends
to your life.
