a mug of coffee
steaming on the front step
striped pajamas
stooping to the news
three martinis
waiting at the airport
Sunday morning
is turning the screws
threading the eye of a needle
meanwhile, we're dying
strapped in our cars
the kids in the back
watching shooting stars
meanwhile, we're dying
slumped in a chair
leaving EMTs
to stroke the kid's hair
going out happy
surprise, surprise
look at daddy's eyes
look at mommy's eyes
threading the eye of a needle
