“An Offer I Couldn’t Refuse”

Tonight I’m alone
At home
A quiet surprise
Hearing the clock tick
This never happens
I might soak in a hot bath
Relax
I could read in bed
Relax
I should clean
Not relax
Write my novel
I could take something for the cold
That’s taken sanctuary in my chest
Relax
I could relax
I’d rather not
If the phone rang
And someone made me
“An offer
I couldn’t refuse”
I wouldn’t refuse.
