 heavy rain

falling when i wake up

wondering if I

should get my toes done—

car wheels thru puddles

.

watching 

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"

this year

of the Dragon

i search for my own fire

.

no pedicure

for some man...

ironing 

an old work shirt

for an old job 

.

instead of sleeping

rereading "The Great Gatsby"—

your copy

of "The Grapes of Wrath"

barely even touched

.

eating 

peanut M&Ms

after dinner

the deputy commissioner

is an unrepentant pedophile
