Scattered Thoughts

3 days
no pants
one shower
does it matter?

A few nights ago
             I ate alone at a table that sat twelve,
             the likeness of Jesus Christ and his "virgin" mother
             watching me.

             I thought about how I'd like to have a table one day that sits twelve
          until I wondered how long that table had been empty.

  Alcohol almost keeps me from thinking
  food makes a good effort to fill me.
My thoughts scatter
it doesn't matter.
