the glow of the TV

I noticed that my feet glow
while I watch TV, it's been a hard day.
The ridges of the weave stand out
in the harsh light, the logo of the brand
that I could not even tell you
they all sound the same.
my jeans are rolled up, exposing the 
soft flesh of my ankles bulging out
from the elastic cuff
some women have slender ankles
I do not
this is a snapshot in time, some words that
I will likely  never put together again,
nor will I ever read them, it's another
poem, a passing observation on a chilly
evening after a long day.
another day gone by
until one day there
are none left.
