Don't Bother Getting Up


She realized her dream of living in a gated community
    Picture-postcard perfect with a golden-tanned husband
She realized her dream of driving a late model luxury SUV
    Hand-detailed every week at the high-end car wash
    Big diamonds on her fingers, gold chains around her neck
She realized her dream of never having to work for a living
    Spent her time entertaining friends on the veranda
    Usually one man at a time 

He never doubted he was the most desirable of men
Sure in his belief all his friend's wives wanted him
Never considered for a moment he was the fish on the line

She sat on the balcony
                          Glass of merlot in her hand
Opened the plastic prescription vial and shook out a few pills
Popped 'em in her mouth and washed them back with wine
                               He stood on the deck and watched the                                                    Sunset
                               One last time
