Weekend

Torrents introduced by a single
thunder crack and I am trying
to get on the road to Brooklyn
which seems tiresome, and my
head fills with black smoke, but
I get to the shower and there's lemon
in the soap there that helps to clear it

An angry
message from the present
and shortly after, one from the past,
joking while choking on struggles
all her own.

The rain is coming down hard, and
I'm going somewhere today.
I can't stay here just thinking bleak.
Take your shot, I'd say.
Take your shot if you have one.
