Wonder

“Ha,” she laughed as she stopped the tape recorder
“I got it.”
“Oh, she is evil” I joked
Just like that
She captured his drunken fury
I wonder if he’s listened to it yet
And what he must think
“Hey do you mind staying in here to mediate?
I really gotta study”
“You think I should?”
“Yeah I think that’d be best..”
He pulled the truck into the driveway
Stumbled out and over to me where I had my fire
Looked lost and needing of a hug
Thank you I am in a cuddly mood how could you tell?
Could I have one more?
I planted my feet firm and gave him a solid warm hug
Trying to help stable him
Wish I could remember
One drunk trying to help another drunk
I don’t even remember most of it
Gosh if he does

He did listen to it today
I wonder what he thought
His wife said he was appreciative
Constant wonder
Perpetual slob
-Wonder, I mean
