The markets are way down and I have to
pee right now. This is the first time that
time stands still (in a very long time) and
let’s say it is all just a dress rehearsal.
Always check the rain schedule in advance.
I have a crush on Feeling Like but yes,
my relationship with Yesterday is as
serious as ever. Maybe I just need a John.
His son is ten, I think. It’s Tuesday and
last night it seemed almost summerlike
with fog. I went directly home and
fell to the ground. A new Ani D
album out today and I’m going to
buy it. —broke with a
tiny hair growing out between
two teeth so I go to the bathroom
I see it in the mirror and I don’t
have anything to pluck it out.
Back at my desk I pilfer through
vintage dentist goodies and find
some floss, flex that stuff until
my mouth bleeds, but flossing
always feels so good. Nothing
works, though, until I spit out a
wad of gum gently brush it up
my gums like putty and voilà.
