birthdaypoem
for tom b.

woke at 6
helped dress nicholas
ironed clothes
2 cups of coffee
shower shave
squinted at the paper
read a few poems
walked to work
head bent to computer
all day
turned evening
then dark
walked home
in the drizzle

'sir psycho sexy' by red hot chili peppers
looped in the head

nicholas turned 2 today
