little demons
sitting in a pub
on 4th street
watching three assholes
who are unable to handle
their jack and cokes
my wife looks at me
and smiles
she says, i had a great day with you
then pauses
so don’t go ruining it
we laugh and clink pint glasses
when she’s not looking
i check my watch to gauge the time
pray i can keep all of those
little demons of mine
at bay
for the rest of the night.
