thank god it's monday

I see him
limping, coming up the street.

what? I ask. what is it now.

his arm in a sling.
a patch on one eye.

he coughs, then spits.

rough weekend, he says.
smelling of rye.

do you have a light, he asks,
pulling a lucky
strike out.

weekends are tough, thank
god it's Monday.
