sunday best
tom waits sounds best
on vinyl,
everybody knows this
just as dark haired girls
in white dresses
look like tigers
in the springtime
cheap white wine tastes best
on a sunday afternoon
as the dogs sleep in the shade
and the strawberries bloom
and words run best
from the fingertips
to the keys
across the page -
like a virgin's tears on prom night -
once the bottle is empty.
