SOME PEOPLE
a.
i woke up my mouth was dry. i needed coffee, didn’t have any.
thought about a hot-buttered roll like a perv looking at a grade school girl. the sun was a misery. forgot to buy blinds again. thought about taping a garbage bag to the window sill-blot out the sun like god’s thumb.
b.
never thought i’d get used to sleeping on the floor. but now i am not so surprised what a human can get used to. floorboards and termites are nothing. it’s nice to have a floor, outside dirt gets in your teeth.
c.
i do things i hate all day long and no one stops me. people ask me how i am and i say, fine, because they don’t really want to know, it’s just another, nice weather we’re having comment as if our conversations have stooped to rhetorical questions instead of give and take. hey, did you see that show last night? that guy/girl was funny wasn’t she/he?
my bones are made of plastic my teeth are not real. sometimes i feel like doing a handstand on the subway, but i’ve never done a handstand before.
there is more work by tricia warden here
