[ASLEEP]
Asleep.
Two of them lying in the half-dark
cool moist modern air.
One shirtless on the floor,
covered with a blue blanket.
The ever present black cap
gone, the deals, the games
now put away in the guise
of peaceful dreams.
The other, briefly awake to
open the door, did not speak.
His rest not complete,
shoes & shirt.
He could be pretending,
knowing I’m watching.
