A Stranger on the Train

is there anything
better

than a rainy day with a black
and white movie
on the tube.

an old classic.
Hitchcock perhaps.

Bogart and Bacall.

legs up, pajamas on, or not,
doesn't matter.

a cup of tea perhaps,
or maybe
a gin and tonic.

the lights off.
the night approaching.

quiet. shhhh. the show is
about to begin.
