the train awaits

it's all

glitter and glam,

confetti

and champagne at first.

and then

the hangover

sets in.

the wedding dress is saran

wrapped

in the closet.

it's the morning after.

there's bills to pay,

a dog

to walk,

bushes to be trimmed.

is this milk

sour?

what's the expiration date?

how about

we scramble some eggs

before we go

our separate ways?

no.

i have to go,

the train awaits.

i'll be home after

seven or so, no need to wait up,

i'll be

working the late.
