why is there a fog?
(or is it a layer of
film that protects me?)

30

Stuck my head in a
Waterfall and called a few
People who love me

29

The Captain's Bridge is
Truly the only place my
Brain can relax in

28

Lightsick, ship's still still
I already have headache
A fragile creature

27

Walk by the hotel
where I lost ring that belonged
to Grandma JB

26

friends break out in song
happy birthday, they're 80
I eavesdrop, alone

25

While we whale watch, I'm
untouched, is this because I've
seen other wonder?

24

"Park Ranger!" I shout
when Jody asks what we'd do
if not what we do.

23

I must be ready
And I am, and I go, and
I might not come back.

22

librarians held
hostage in the library
by man with box knife

21

after wrapping with
Sujey, Weldon, and Sherry
I get kid again

20

drop the cargo van
at Avon, he calls me kid
and I feel that way

19

took the bus and walked
instead of calling a car
work would've covered

18

jaywalk in front of
cop car and then pop in to
say hi to Coral

17

decide to sort out
finances when I should be
doing my work work

16

still trying to get
For Reference together
and I will, I say

15

bus driver lets me
on this out of service bus
I pick out my stop

14

While waiting for a
Walk signal, this man's peeling
Some sticker off post

13

Trick myself for a
Quick moment that I might still
Have basketball skills

12

late night walking home
decompress, letting day go
it's all a process

11

feeling for routine
dinner with Andy, Rachael
can it be weekly?

10

crying child, lungsful
inconsolable, nothing
we can do to help

9

an easy talking
Leti and I review months
as she trims my hair

8

almost alone on
way to Santa Clarita
big bus, two ladies

7

turn on Parts Unknown
and my heart, it shifts, pauses
to sit with Bourdain

6

got new bad habit
and try to trace its roots while
it's consuming me

5

earthquake nausea post
shake, lights sway, we pick apart
family, our lives

4

Throw to dos out the
window to really be with
Lauren's family

3

walking with sunset
the light is poetic, and
the moment is not

2

learned harmonica
When the Saints Go Marching In
backstage, in high school

I don't really want

to go to Simi Valley

but I should. I go.
