Woke up this morning



on the wrong side of the bed,
in the wrong bed,
wrong part of town.
wrong town.

May a helicopter
yank me up out of here
and drop me down
on the right side

of the right bed
by you.
Stay put:
I will find you.

If I get there and
you are out searching for me,
I will have no idea
where to begin looking for you.
