Early In The Morning

3am. The phone rings. I reach out. Answer it. Dial tone. I'm up. Get dressed. Brush teeth. Gel hair. The phone rings. Again. I reach out. Answer it. Jody is on her way. Grab my keys. Head out the door. Foggy. Streets deserted. 20 minutes go by. 80 blocks go by. 4 cars go by. She's waiting. In the lobby. 9 hours go by. 1,000s of people go by. $111.37 more than I had. I leave. Drive home. Nap. Still tired.
