My Night Poem by Smack Thompson

A friend let me crash at their place tonight

so I take a peak at their laptop and play around on the internet
tonight
no back against a hard cold dumpster for me tonight
tonight
I get to sleep next

to

a

space

heater
one of those dangerous wall
ones that might set you on fire
but better than them cold hard dumpsters the gutter punk kids
like me live around
(Am I still a punk kid at 37? Damn.)

I like sleeping indoors

used to have my own place with
a girlfriend
but she got tired of me forgetting to do the dishes
and she'd find those little maggot shells everywhere

Man this friend is a cool kat
and she's got all sorts of nudie pictures of herself

in
her
My Pictures
folder she said

'I don't mind you looking at'

I guess she's an exhibitionist or something

Life is good and warm tonight
and I guess that's good enough right?
