plans are real scary
heart races, considering
the potential loss

27

got locked out this morn
while watching dogs, with nothing.
caught the bus for free

26

once lived by friendly
neighbors and end up here to
be walked by their dogs.

25

my brother is mark.
he's grown up to an adult,
which says, so have I.

24

caught the early train
and portland greets me, along
with my family

23

i'm trying to see
if i take too many nights
and days to myself

22

nothing like small words
said incoherently by
a small child learning

21

today was normal.
not usual. but nothing
jumped out to surprise.

20

bob marley background
and we're dancing on one leg
hop hopping away

19

sick! sickly! sick! sick!
stuffed nose, achey back, cough, cough,
cough, cough! I rest here.

18

was it the park wine?
or is it simply the flu?
sleeping sickly now

17

u-dub, gasworks, zoo.
walked searching for cookies. found:
wine, swings, cowen park.

16

my priorities
involve bus taking so I
can sleep a bit more

15

hand in hand we walked
wind blowing me back, her up
nothing beats these days

14

learned to peel apples
and appreciate otters
this valentine's day

13

backyard spray painting
"me gusta," "i like," & "fact."
posters up for grabs

12

restless and antsy,
ready to explore alone.
knowing, yet I wait.

11

planner sopping wet
and memory failing me
still bummed as plans fail

10

she said basketball
without knowing how to shoot
said I should go pro

9

meeting to make plans
and i thought of rejection
drank whiskey, beer, wine

8

recalling rainbows
driving past one, remembered:
water, smoke, laughing

7

missing friends i write.
letters, though slower, somehow
make life more complete.

6

so tired. eyes closing.
and it's only nine-twenty.
thanks work & yoga.

5

letting go of the
obvious, I find the days
fuller than i think

4

had a pleasant plan
to drink wine at half the price
but, i can't plan well

3

solo dance in rain
left feet dyed blue from wet shoes
dried in a dryer

2

drank blueberry wine
right after children of men
then dreamed of dali

1

sophia is sick
vomit on my pants as proof
poor little sick girl
