another comeback
climbing back up out of the ooze, out of
the thick black tar,
rising up again, a modern
Lazarus.
you're amazed at your good
fortune.
somehow you've had more
than your share of second
chances.
hell, accept it.
what you have, you have.
you walk and look in the bathroom
mirror
at an idiot's smile.
you know your luck.
some go down and never climb back up.
something is being kind to you.
you turn from the mirror and walk into the
world.
you find a chair, sit down, light a cigar.
back from a thousand wars
you look out from an open door into the silent
night.
Sibelius plays on the radio.
nothing has been lost or destroyed.
you blow smoke into the night,
tug at your right
ear.
baby, right now, you've got it
all.

    Death sits in the seat next to

    we make a lovely
    couple.
  • Vasily Betinhas quoted6 years ago
    always easier to meet than

  • Vasily Betinhas quoted6 years ago
    there must be a medical term
    for:
    “too many people.”
    I’ve been stricken with
    this malady
    all my life:
    there has always been
    “too many people.”
