More
 
 than I thought.
 
 possible. Turns out
 
 more
 
 than I wanted to.
 
 Turns out I’ve
 
 gone through a lot
 
 more
 
 of that quarter
 
 ounce than I
 
 realized. It’s
 
 almost
 
 gone and so is
 
 my car and most
 
 of my money,
 
 gone
 
 just like Christmas,
 
 spent mostly alone,
 
 like a downtown wino,
 
 nothing
 
 much to live for, no
 
 better place to go,
 
 too many hours
 
 left
 
 before tomorrow
 
 arrives, bringing with
 
 it,…what?
 
 Nothing.
 
 When They Finally
 
 Come through the door,
