31

My goal is to live.

Enough reflection to grow

but not overdone.

30

visit old Bates house

where I giggled, made mistakes

A happy summer

29

Arrive here midnight

In true form straight to Black Cat

to meet San Fran friend

28

I lose my reason

when it's money talk with mom

Don't really know why

27

board games and coffee
families at Flying M
learning robot dance

26

Sam and Dad and I
took Mom to Sockeye Brew Pub
so she could try beers.

25

Someone just like you
Walked through church and through my day
I miss you Kristin

24

After church going
We drink and chat with neighbors
Snowball fight with dad

23

back at home again
quick like hellos to old friends
in dry air, snow falls

22

on plane next to boy
discuss capturing these clouds
in jars just to see

21

neighbor moving out

talk of living in movies

our quarter of sass

20

brunch.  letter writing.

driving in glendale.  shoe shop.

scotch.  making real talk.

19

hop on bus to go

hoping that plans are still on 

for meal and music

18

clouds give way to sun

bike ride to meet on campus

drive to see the coast

17

asked a friend to go

to the sidestreets where you died

pass feelings to me

16

The plan: get off bus

Walk north, enter/exit stores,

take bus to bar/friends

15

Meander in rain

After waking early in

Gorgeous house down south

14

seeing my city

on my feet playing famous

only in LA

13

To recover from

finals, post-final parties:

Sixteen hours of sleep.  

12

At four in AM

Pictionary, white russians.

Drunk drawing, guessing

11

final paper in

done with lack of urgency

now staring blankly

10

not profound, but then

I'll look up, and people move

me to almost-tears

9

paper is sticky
mind gets caught in ideas
not in a good way

8

finals sleep schedule

twenty-two single spaced done

keeping up focus

7

how it is right now:
library, checked out laptop,
Outkast, watch off wrist.

6

Down to see cousins
Partytime, during finals
But it's all okay

5

my night in backward:
typed in "salvation" lit bar,
walked down street, coffee

4

It's PBR time

mid-day, mid-paper, mid-thoughts

Mixed with water, tea

3

outside on a curb

just so I can stand up and

go inside again

2

plugged in my tv

to watch daily show, colbert

then promptly unplugged

1

back to school, last week.

closing up quarter for real.

then more in oh nine.
