Honk If You're Tired

talking Agatha Christie books
on the phone with Franco,
and, man-o-man, we've come a long way,
getting old sucks,
but slowing down may be good.

he is at Strand,
swapping books,
and I am in a swamp,
but this is every day,
with more comedy,
and less books.

sweating, I am putting books back,
reminding my phone that I am me,
and I can't watch basketball
because I am playing basketball tomorrow
and this sentence doesn't make sense,.
