Molly + Grad School

= True Love (library

loans for a quarter)

29

talking while riding

going too fast down this hill

but I don't hang up

28

no deep thoughts today

as the browns won their first game,

tribe played their last one.

27

Paul Newman has died.

Talks with friends' moms about him

return to my mind. 

26

we followed these guys

as they stole mass of balloons

to pretty party

25

drive to echo park

it takes too long, but worth it

for walter meego

24

floor covered: desk, chair

walls covered: maps, posters, nails

kitchen covered: ANTS!

23

I miss what I know

but adventures get better

as I get grown up

22

gritty art, not sure

focus hard and looking deep

back onto the bus

21

up before the sun

on public transportation

for family time

20

no loneliness here

just deep sleep, long phone talks, and

big grin induced thoughts

19

and now back to this:

tipsy talking, big jokes so

that I can make friends.

18

bike ride to the beach

careful with all the traffic 

need different route

17

at nick cave, bad seeds

reflecting on the last year

I've come a long way

16

big moves always end

with me watching way too 

much Law and Order

15

more box carrying

and just like that I live here

CALIFORNIAN

14

In spring of oh six:
an Infinite Jest party.
Today: RIP.

13

first time in vegas

less like it seems in movies

more like...not my style

12

loose ends and last times

months of the same turning 'round

and goodbyes, again

11

had too much beer and

too much food, all before six.

bike ride home seems long.

10

old high school teachers.

one showed me technology

and one showed me art.

9

Had I been a boy

They'd have named me Jack Allen

Glad my name's Molly

8

my first short story

(started two plus years ago)

finally finished

7

terrified watching

satellites from the backyard

not ready to move

6

late night in Portland

five point two miles walking

and talking with Sam

5

I have missed Jessi

We giggle about the past

And feed her new hens

4

minivan dancing

- no seats, three of us in back -

to Walter Meego

3

I still feel home here

and my friends still know me here

Seattle is tops

2

surprise emotions
from a mix a boy gave me
from high school romance

1

full of northwest beers

and not so sure of choices.

it's apologies.
