31

Snail's pace through city
Pitchers of beer at the Shack
Then goodbyes, for now

30

no small feat, and it's
nice to not disguise ourselves
we are who we are

29

Thunderstorms move me
Sheets, blankets of rain guide my
Family inside

28

Not a parking lot
Right next to the great salt lake
So happy I cry

27

I have cried from work
So, please, I barter with brain
Eat in fucking peace.

26

Always thought pizza
Craving was caused by sadness
And maybe it is

25

No good at whispers
We get shushed for good reason
Many things to discuss

23

Andy calls me, we meet
He won't let me forget that
We are close friends now

22

I really thought I
Was done chasing buses but
No, turns out, I'm not

20

Review her time here
Talk about our work, our worth
(Another exit)

19

I have an eye on
a man, he introduces
himself, asks my name.

17

Finished the story.
The written one. And will let
My real life unfold.

16

They're both crying as
they pull back the curtains from
Family Business

15

use dog sitting as
hook to be a writer, and
I do need the trick

14

small drips through ceiling
after poorly cut keys, both
require landlord's help

12

after Lisette I
drive to the ocean, step in
bathe in what could be

11

Blindsided by him
The brother of someone dear
Asks me real questions

10

Profound longing on
Waking: headed to the end,
We'll be forgotten.

This section always

makes me think of Nancy Drew.

Run it with eyes peeled.

7

Had two pairs of shoes
destroyed in one dream and that's
all I can tell you.

6

North Hollywood is
between both of us, and we
take bus post-goodbyes.

4

Disoriented
Eat mac & cheese leftovers
Walk new roads to bus

3

Vallejo races
Through my thoughts; we reconnect
Texting cross country

2

I'm striding across
The sidewalk listening to
Favorite Prince song

1

Get reference book
at library to read when
I should be working
