I am a retired Ironworker(35 years Local 7), a lifetime Boston, Mass resident. I am old enough to know better - but don't.
FRIGHTDAY (aka Friday)
My eyes have the aura
of Maples in autumn
the rum bottle empty
I got to the bottom
I’m viewing the sun
through a blurry red haze
as I follow the demons
that haunt these “fright” days
tired and shaky
a physical wreck
I only showed up
To pick up my check
