No Time at All

my time with her is no time at all
she is
tired from the night before
(the one I spent alone)
she is
late leaving work
she will be
early to bed tonight
and
early to leave in the morning
I am
debating my fist in the wall
I am
the jackass who won't fall asleep early
and
the jackass waving goodbye in boxer shorts and a sweatshirt at eight a.m.
therefore
my time with her is no time at all
