Colleen reads my new

story, has only one note.

See her once a year.

28

Common Market lyft
My vast Seattle hip hop
knowledge surprised him

27

I had been trying
to reach her, or anyone,
To tell them this news.

26

At the bar whose name
We always forget between
My home and her home.

25

Meet at MEMORY
Regale them with stories and
Say what might be next

24

Nirvana shirt strums
Guitar softly, single chicken earring,
with a big backpack.

23

I build ladders, low
hung fruit, three lines, caves
I can crawl into.

22

I said we should meet
within two weeks, here we are
reviewing our lives.

21

Marvel at Walt's house
Climb a hill, find sitting spot,
drink a beer, make sense.

19

Neon yellow runs
across the street with what looks
like a pool-scoop pole.

17

I sit and read at
the counter of G&B
and find some solace

16

He crashed into
the sign years ago, it still
has two tears in it.

15

Nothing to show them
so we lounge and walk, which is
how we'll pass the day.

14

My brother and I
walk to coffee in LA
Feels luxurious

13

Stage is mound of dirt
My brain lingers lightly, sways
Me too, see? Me too.

12

Dodos of Love, us.
This round, we're still, drive in once.
Laugh, sleep, soak, repeat.

11

baby quails trail her
sweat dripping behind my knees
the air's not quite still

10

Text her that it's my 

too-much-food-and-only-one 

-outfit summer tour. 

9

All the shady spots
are claimed, so it's direct sun
for me on this bench.

8

Lost, a little scared

Found way, walked into ocean

Life is hard and good

6

Commit to desert
As in, commit to people
Who make me, move me

5

Observe these tears. From:
man looking at vitamins,
nanny with small child.

4

was going to be
a dream job but morphed into
a regular one

3

"You don't have to use
your time wisely, that's not what
time is for," I say

2

Even from the well
(the bottom of it, down here)
I am truly heard

1

Saw Mom, Dad, Mark, Sam

Plans that feel like miracles

Or required my yes
