trying something
Bleary eyes read
Grimy walls.
Scrawled number offers
gratification.

Smiling wife,
Apple-cheeked child,
      Home.

Receiver lifts.
  Bile  r i s e s.
Pudgy fingers dial.
Stale breath held.

“Hello?”

Sexy voice coos
Question.
Guilt-ridden voice
Responds.

“Do you know what
Time it is?”
