By Scott Wozniak
Sitting on my couch
at 10:30 am
on a Tuesday
in plaid pijamas
and slippers,
fighting the feeling
I should be
doing more–
searching for work,
being a productive member
of society,
or some such bullshit.
Instead of a beer,
I crack the spine
on a book of poetry
by Doug Draime.
Slowly,
I feel the need
to do more
slip
through the cracks,
and find peace
a drink
could never
provide.
