I seem to be missing everything
He
looks at me with scorn
and I’m
inclined to blurt out
that
I’ve been up all morning
writing
poems. The apart-
ment
was messy and I was
afraid
to look my paycheck
in the
eye. We watched
episodes
of Everybody Loves
Raymond before retiring to
the
bathroom. What else?
Already
four days into the
new
year and my Christmas
present
arrives: a case of
Peter Pan peanut butter.
