Jesus and His Thumbs
I get lots of appreciation and stuff. But then
there is the demand of getting up after already
going to bed to help with laundry. Homework
makes it even more frustrating. Did my blood
pressure hit the roof?
I balk, knowing it’s a
“bad idea” – and so – homework to house-
cleaning. A worn-out
cigar on the kitchen floor.
The cat refusing to leave the bedroom all day
and peeing generously on the bed. In two
locations. Including
on top of a pillow. It’s
nice to go shopping for home supplies. Whether
alone or together.
But what about the people
who are always there and yet I always forget.
I have to be reminded of these people while
Otto heads to Castro with Dave. Kate arrives
for the first time ever.
I meet up with Kim and
Hiro. Yuki talks me
into going to the End-up,
but we mostly just talk in the car. I order a
shrimp omelet and watch the clouds dissipate.
