At Home

Home sweet home.

At Home

3/5/11

Here I can let loose,

turn guitar amp up loud

and sing at top of lungs

recorded by distant Ipod app,

or dance with abandon to music

DJ spins on college radio station,

surprising me and body by energy

that pours out after long work week,

earlier I had thoughts of unwinding

out on town, starting with happy hour,

then checking out local band playing,

clubbing with strangers, finding friends,

instead came back to my place,

unloaded the van, shook out tarps,

rearranged tools, fed the animals,

brought laundry upstairs to put away,

imbibing beer and toke that eased

any desire to leave this abode

where good things catch my attention

not just in evening of expression,

but tomorrow's potential began whispering

of possibilities to enjoy even more

if I didn't choose to stay out late,

spend money beyond tight budget

while distracted by women shaking booties,

much better to 'unleash' myself at home.
