Crystal Ball - Feb. 11, 2025

Gary Hunter

I’m one of those late rising

robe-coffee-newspaper types

but only on Wednesdays

and Sundays

the other days I’m

combing in a cold bathroom

dressing in the semi-dark

for some age appropriate

imperative or another

and in the crystal ball

I see the wonder of laziness

has a bright future
