a new leaf
my friend Jimmy tells me
over drinks
at the local pub.
i'm cleaning up my act.
no more drinking
and chasing skirts.
i'm going to lose
weight.
i'm going to start going
to church again.
i'm going to read all the books
i need to read
and find out where my
children live
and not call any of their
mothers names.
i'm going to see the world
as a cup half full.
are you with me?
i raise my glass and clink
it against his.
sure. i tell him, but
didn't you say
all of this last year too?
