We all partied hard

And I watched the sun come up

Started day sans sleep

27

she comes to my house

early this morning to help

me focus on work

26

post-de-stress last night

I bike here and there to learn

and work and progress

25

struck upon waking:
i am alone (not sad. true.)
my future unclear

24

they made pancake mix
he cooked, called them pancookies
i laughed and drank milk

23

Day starts: bike early.

Midday: on campus reading.

Late night: just started.

22

Mass is in Latin.

I can't pretend to follow,

but I recognize.

21

We get lost and talk.

I missed my train, traffic's bad.

They're late, it's okay.

20

what gets her down is

overanticipation

which always gets you

19

a craigslist meeting

'cause I "need" messenger bag.

the boy's cute.  make plans.

18

and reached my limit

salty with friends, ready tears.

deep breath.  another.

17

Airplane-like floor lights

I listen, not creating

(music, not travel)

16

meet at Profeta

my rainy days meet cupcakes

and they grade papers

15

work meeting because

three stores to seven happens

faster than we thought

14

for my heart shaped day

we're in a blues bar with wine

as some friends play jazz

13

Homeless man in front

and I, full of food, behind.

We ride the bus west.

12

another blank day

where the things that happened went

and i'm not sure what

11

Today my week ends.

Reset. Strange call. Done. Friend-talk.

New week. Starts over.

10

beat up from the work
but loving it all the same.
how far will i get?

9

focusing on day,
which is rainy, mostly blue,
and how I'm in it.

8

put the tape in deck

sings "it's just a fantasy"

me and billy joel

7

looking out of train

the kid was born in ninety

makes him an adult

6

one LA downpour,

and my bus leaks dirty rain

onto my left arm.

5

giving time to new station

(missing KEXP friends),

but glad to pledge drive.

4

cancelled class equals

some space to straighten, or try,

the start of something

3

frantically write

and then accept it's defeat

paper extension 

2

what doesn't matter

can overtake what does fast

so I'm adjusting

1

my sleeping schedule

cannot remain up til three

and sleep until ten
