Have a beer at the bar

'Poem'
I'm in the house
It's nice out
Warm
Sun on cold snow
First day of spring
Or last day of winter
My legs run up the stairs

like the ones in Williams's poem.

you'd see how much my chest and head
implode for you, their voices trapped
inside like unborn children fearing
they will never see the light of day.
The opening in the wall now dimly glows
its rainy blue and gray. I tie my shoes
and go downstairs to put the coffee on.
