happiness is for sissies-

I claw some clothes out of the closet,
summer I put them on, heat
is breaking its own records

I have an ugly face in a mirror taking
some
ice in a glass

clink clink

what is it  I cant sleep the
night is glassy black

the window’s terminal  view of traffic snakes
below me

I pour hissing cola and drink it through a straw.
