Combination

I did lots of things last night
my body wasn't happy with
Spinach pasta with bleu cheese,
a glass of wine, a large brownie
and four cigarettes
All shuffling to settle, unsettlingly

Last night my body said enough
to combination that seemed
a good idea at the time
and wasn't
But sleep made it finally okay
as sleep so often does

I get repaired somehow with sleep
and maybe you do too
Learn that combination doesn't work
until the next time
when a bad idea sounds good
Wheedling me into something dumb

Lots of talk these days about ozone holes
and water that's not fit to drink
Spinach pasta with bleu cheese,
a glass of wine, a large brownie
and four cigarettes
I can only hope the earth sleeps well
