A Man Learning Things About Himself

A luxury car in a mortgaged driveway.
A sleeping family down the hall, up the stairs.

A shark’s head mounted on the den wall.
A fat ass in the leather desk chair.

A sandwich and a beer on the desk.
A porno on the computer screen.

A shift in his eyes.
A wriggle in the seat.

A possibility?
A way out?

A moment before the flickering scene passes.
A forearm wiped slowly across his damp mouth.

A second click.
A replay.
