SOMETIMES…

SOMETIMES…

Sometimes a man “don’t wanna” go home,

Just not immediately…

It’s not that he doesn’t love his wife,

But he needs some time to breathe.

–

Sometimes I’ll stand outside the car

Drinking in the warm night air…

List’ning for animals, traffic noise

And starry skies up there.

–

I don’t go drinking with the guys

‘Cause none of us booze…

We meet on Sundays most of the time,

For reasons we all chose.

–

I’m glad to have some time alone

Before heading inside…

The cat and wife will greet me well

After my homeward ride.
