counting her chickens

i remember the best sleep
i ever had.
it was when i passed out
after
the medical insurance examiner
stuck a needle in my vein
to draw blood.
seeing if i was worthy of
a million dollar life insurance
policy that the wife insisted upon.
after not eating all day
and being out in the hot sun,
down i went.
out for a few moments.
but it was a sweet deep sleep.
i even dreamed.
and when i woke up my son
was kneeling beside me
while my wife stood over me
laughing.
saying, look at the big strong man,
already counting her chickens.
