A Pro

Have you ever been
woken up by
raindrops?

Lightly kissing your skin
and wetting
your pants
while you
wet them
as well?

Above
clouds meet your
rusted, hungover,
opening eyes?

You see your phone
perfectly set
next to you
without a sign of life
in it?

Dusting yourself off,
realizing the reality
of the entire situation?

You've slept outside
right next to your house
in a small patch
of grass and bugs?

What happened last night?

Are you dead?

It sure feels like.

It's a preference anyways.

How is it that
nobody
saw you
or thought
you were
dead?

Maybe you really are...

Now you're dreaming
you're still alive
and drunk?

There's nothing
you can do about it
now.

Just keep on
keeping on,
I guess?

Maybe
have a jerk
and take a nap
and try to
forget
to wake up?

Maybe quit drinking
for awhile?

Maybe not?

Get in your bed
and sleep it off
the way
a real pro
would do it...
