Another Mid-life Crisis

3 a.m. Feeling like death

and wanting to end it all

I reach for the aspirin bottle.

Will there be enough?

One by one I count them out. 72?

Need more to be on the safe side.

Rummaging around I add another 30.

That should do it.

Take the first two with a glass of water.

Feel better. Go back to bed. Fall asleep.
