trip
7:57 AM EDT - Jun. 15, 2004
so i got up this morning
and banged my head against
the head board, this Eastern purple
and red a waterfall of jellybeans
reminding me just how far i am
from home. and how i miss
the pointy finger in my nose
to say that TV isn't on
and all i can think of
is to give my wife an extra
thirty minutes of sleep
and an empty space for her
to move and roll before she
wakes to i'm going now
and ma ma ma ma.
all i want to do is call her
and tell her what i hope
she already knows
but i know she
is on the sofa
with Leno or Conan to comfort my son
and when he gets up he
will look for me
and she is left
with the aftermath.
