consuelo

of course, i had mother for my consolation and
now she is gone and i am left alone and bereft

tonight i have the new york philharmonic
a full harmonica in the mouth

i've been happening for over 18 hours
i'm looking forward to getting some rest

i may very well wake up with a startling dream
thirty minutes later, but that's the way it is with me

i've doctored my eyes, will brush my teeth with a
high fluoride toothpaste i get from the dentist

no more eating or drinking after that
it's just as well; i am terribly fat
