Was early morning at the laundry.

Like to get there before 8.

Got to go to wash and fold.

Like meditation, contemplate.

He was slumped up in a stupor.

Dead asleep tween wash and dry.

The attendant tried to wake in vain.

I was silent, but I did spy.

If you think your day might be rough.

It’s probably not as rough as his.

To be young and drunk and stupid.

You see, that used to be my biz!
