Saturday the Eighteenth. Alyssa Trivett

I counted three ambulances
on the way from the bar that
humid August evening where
even my windshield wipers
were sweating, thankfully,
the sirens weren't for me.
I tipped my hat to my shot glass
on what shall soon be known as
a stellar evening.
Now I sleep through thundershowers
and come morning
my throat will howl
as my man makes coffee for me.
