Alone In My Upstairs Apartment After a Hard Days Work

after rejection, i make chicken dirty rice and call it a day during the downtime, i make swedish meatballs with parmesan cheese and hang up my stresses in the walk- in closet with the center of a welcome peace, i pour myself some green tea ginger ale in a thirty-two ounce cup and listen to michael franks when i listen to the song about michael's baby cooking her eggplant, i realize that i forgot to make some honey butter biscuits twelve minutes later, when the timer goes off and the honey butter biscuits are ready, mr. franks is singing about a lady who wants to know the reason why i say to myself, 'later for curiosity and the cat....well, maybe not the cat....that may be dessert later....in the meantime, i pleasure myself on one of the very things that i work my butt off for....and just unwind
