another night on earth

I light a cigar

and pour a tumbler of scotch.
I take a seat
in the big

chair.

it's quiet. nice and quiet.
just a few
kids
outdoors

being kids.

I think about putting some
music on,
but i'd rather listen
to the children outdoors.

the woods are almost in bloom.
the yard

almost green
again.

there is so much bad news,
but
that's fine,

having lived long enough,
why worry.

this shall pass too.
I wait for the stars to appear,

then go out
to stare upwards. another
night

on earth is upon us.
