Fourth of July #90
July 4, 2002


Vodka and Cranberry
my first one
it's quite good
I'm drinking it 
out of my 
coffee carafe 
it's a very
Large drink

after all

It is another
humid fourth of July
Later I will go 
out on my balcony 
with a sparkler 
left over from
last year

but for now 

sedating myself
in the afternoon
while my soul
is making love
to Otis Redding

instead
