give me one of those

i pick up some indian
food,
carry away
from the local new restaurant
next to dominos.
a bag of what, i don't know.

i just point at a line
on the menu

and say one of those,

but it gets the best of me.
it's a long dark night
of sweating,

and prayer
on the cold bathroom
floor.
i have to stick with what
i know.
