Heaven is a that listlessness
a restlessness
creaking misspent christmases
sneaking waxy floorboards
a minute to midnight
the same old song rolled over your tongue
effervescent, but colorless
inoffensive sinlessness

Heaven is next year's vacation
taking time to pay off credit card debt
dusting off those silver medals and
deciding that contentment is fine
and a sterile marriage is bet...
