Midnight Joy (A Poem)


Eating
Nutter Butter
Cookies at midnight
Is a holy event

Grab a container of vanilla
Ice cream and you are having yourself
One dandy of an
Indoor picnic

Make sure you make a nice
Large pot of
Chock Full O Nuts
Coffee
While you are at it

Fill your bowl
Up heaping
With the good stuff

Play something sweet
Pamper yourself tonight

Perhaps some
Early Paul Simon
Will do the trick

Sit there and teach yourself
How to roll a
Cigarette
While spooning up
The lovely ice cream
And feed yourself
With that smile
On your face

And yes,
Good call with the
Paul Simon choice
Because his tune
Still Crazy After All These Years
Has really hit
The spot
In your soul
Which happens to be bursting
From joy right now

And though
You are getting
Fatter and fatter
With each night you do this
It’s all good
Because you have someone
Who loves you
Unconditionally
And
Fat or thin
You got her
And she got you
And it
Is a good thing

A great thing

And thinking of it
Brings you
Even closer to
Manic happiness

So, though it is only
A Thursday night
And the weekend does
Not look promising
You are
Elated and joyous
With all of your
Goodies
And
There’s not
One thing that can
Bring you down
Tonight

Not a single
Fucking thing

Amen to that
