What time is It?

32

Maria Lee woke up at dawn,
Having gone to bed at 0 dark hundred.
After a long hot mad night,
Typical Friday night at the Cosmos Club
in Soi Cowboy, Bangkok, Thailand.

The scent of bad craziness
Hung in the air.

She looked for some coffee
There were no spoons.

She drank her coffee black
She wasn't sure she liked the taste
She added some whiskey
To take the edge off,
Tasted better.

She looked up
And asked her faithful friend
Sam the dog,

“what time is it?”

The dog nodded at her
The dog had one blue eye
And one brown eye.


The dog was her best friend
Her only friend. She thought.

As she drank her first drink
Twenty drinks too sober
Hair of the dog that bit her.

The hangover dissipated a bit
as the sun blasted her awake
it was so hot
As she listened to the blues.
