how we doing, Lisa?

if i go three days without
work
i imagine myself in the woods.
with a can of beans
over an open fire. my
fingerless gloves clutching
a tin mug
full of maxell house coffee.
i hear a train going by,
the lonesome refrain
of a harmonica by a toothless
man in a long coat
leaning against a tree
relieving himself.
i quickly call my broker and
snap out of it.
i ask her, how we doing Lisa?
