Friday Nights

Click
Before me the screen shuts
                                            down
the buzz hums
drones
on
Off. 
Pupils adjust from
Actors, from
Farce, from
cheap 'n easy
Hope to 
the real world-
my fate



way 

from 

me

sun is setting
Saturday soon
Light lingering
Friday here:

  Ready?
  finger flicks on 
  the fluorescent
  I see the way
                     down
                            the stairs
                                    Set!
          the shot for injection
      my liver’s resuscitation
  Go--
  tear, pierce
  steel needle to stale skin.
  My body silent
  My mind sings
                          back
                      up
those stairs
in sync-
whirls, ticks
dead appliances applaud me
