apology for a nap.

i wanted to wait,

my back and thighs sinking

into the thick cushions of the couch,

ready, already,

all ready to wait

since you were (just

slightly) late.

i think i fell asleep, then,

there on the pillows made

not for your head, but your rear,

but good enough 

for my head, then and there.

(i hope you took the rain 

check in my sleepy hand,

and next time,

be on time, man.)
