Happy Hour

by James Babbs

around five o’clock
Tuesday afternoon and
I guess it’s better
than Monday morning
but not by very much
I’m here
but I’m not doing anything
just sitting around
trying to decide
whether or not
I want to stay sober
tonight
I mean after awhile
even getting drunk
starts losing its appeal
now that I’m older
it doesn’t feel the same
I don’t know
maybe
I’m just in a bad mood
it’s almost dark outside
and the wind’s so fucking cold
