White nights
Of red alerts
Necessitate strong black coffee
And cheap cigarettes
(Even if it's years, since the
Last time you smoked.)
This is no time for slow
Sidewalk cappuccinos
Or thinking of your health, or the
State of your manicure,
Instead, catch naps, or sleep in 'til two
Eat cheese or a pint of Ben & Jerry's for dinner
And take pleasure where you can
Have sex, even if
Only with yourself
And only so long as
You can throw on a robe
And get down to the shelter
In a minute or less.
