his transformation takes about
10 minutes to achieve
a button-down over his tee
cuff links in the sleeves
a tie, a vest, a quick breath test
cuff links in the sleeves
a tie, a vest, a quick breath test
he throws his jacket on
aqua velva, listerine,
and then, voila, he’s gone
he heads straight from the club
to work, cuz he’s a party chap
to work, cuz he’s a party chap
at lunch he’ll make some time
to take a 20-minute nap
to take a 20-minute nap
and Monster-up his afternoon
with non-stop drops of caffeine
a hundred push-ups in the john
an overload of protein
when work is done he’ll head back home
it takes another 10
to change his tee and change to jeans
and head back out again
revived, re-scented, reinvented,
this life will catch up one day
for now he’s young, he’s having fun
he’ll sleep all day on sunday
