so with all that buildup
i actually did have an interesting moment as 801pm became 802pm
for i was standing in front of an atm earnestly doing my bit to bag my
cosmic receipt also
but actually spacing out in a reverie
when i was startled back into time by the roar of a motorcycle firing up so
close to me that i could smell it immediately yet never actually saw it
behind me in the dark
& with my hair still on end from the shock of it i figured that that must be
my cue to hit the balance inquiry button
& of course i was right

michael michael motorcycle is what they used to call me in kindergarten
& now i know why

& then in the afterglow i did indeed proceed to get lit
& by around midnight judging from the moon i was telling myself i was happy
& complete enough to expire & reemerge fully into nonphysical right then &
there
when i was again startled back to my senses
this time by the flashlight beam & gentle rapping on the maxivan itself of
an absolute paradise dame in the form of the most arrestingly lovely
policelady i have ever seen or could ever hope to
who began by calling me by name
& advised me to sleep not there anymore but a mile north of there

she was so incredible & i was so charmed by her that i nearly invited her
into the truck to join my party
like just to make sure she was real
but thought better & drove away as she indicated
tho i was too drunk to sing

& in the morning i knew it was a real class visit & not just an apparition
because i did indeed wake up a mile north of where i started


& now for the rest of our lives
but somehow it all seems like extra bonus time now
