coffee-stained
James Dean
T-shirt
blue jeans torn
at both knees
tenth cigarette
burning
in ashtray
another frozen dinner
cooking in oven
empty Jack
Daniels
bottle turned
on its side
twenty-five dollars
in pocket
eviction notice
crumpled on floor
empty thoughts
ramble
inside
weary mind
vacant eyes
glare through
veiled mirror
reflection
contemplating
a reckless fate,
while praying for
redemption's
rescue.
