it’s Friday night; young people
are just getting dressed to go
out; older couples listen
to the dogs eat raw hide in
the living room, roll out
the TV on the microwave
cart for the big night.
Friday night is movie night,
when they remove their business
casual Dockers and sweater,
replacing them with
slightly torn sweatpants
and an old T-shirt.
Wine glass in hand, they
settle onto the couch with its
broken springs, lean gently
against each other and settle
in for a wonderful evening.

So how I live!!!!!
What the young don't understand is that this kind of evening is hard-won. You have to figure out who you are and how to be this comfortable doing nothing.
