I gambled with love, and in its stead I found status anxiety.
                                                                            —Kevin Killian

What mode today?
A la mode!

With 9 clear windows
across your face.

Never use the
obvious example

unless it hurts too much
to tell the truth.

Switch gears
whenever necessary.            Some big hills.

All my life I thought I was an introvert
until I took the Myers-Briggs test.

Being a wallflower does not make you
introverted.   You are yet THERE!
You need THE PEOPLE.   (Or I do.)

But it wasn’t until I started taking
Wellbutrin that I realized how intense
the social anxiety is.

Last night when I
offered to a handsome

bike cabbie as he was pedalling me
from one nightclub to another

that “cool, we don’t have these in
San Francisco” I thought he said

“course not the difference between
Portland and San Francisco is

some big pills.”
