House Money

Friday, 6 P.M.

"I can't come see you,
it's Wednesday!  I know I'll get stuck there
and two A.M. will come around again
and it'll be the same bullshit all over!

I'm not trying to call off work
the same way I did last week.

Besides, we never finished the game anyway,
and I cannot get sucked into
another movie set,
especially if your housemate is stopping by.

I'm sorry, I had to get it off my chest.

It's not worth the drive."

"It's Friday."

"Let me get my keys."
