I Know You

Writing for a friend here…

 

He knows early morning wake ups,

     measures life in coffee cups.

 

He knows brunch time habitats,

     gauges wealth in catch-up chats.

 

He knows evening drink delights,

     treasures life in plentiful pints. 

 

He knows routine late lock-ins,

     taxes his crumbling self-discipline.

 

He knows nighttime wide awake,

     sees his life fallen out of shape.

An interesting character, it seems, John.
