this week:
a man and his son huddled in the shrubbery on the side of the freeway while their car steams on the shoulder.
a woman searching for her keys with a tomato shining on the pavement next to her foot.
a tear-stained toddler wearing pink saying "why can't YOU be my mommy?"
cold gray glaring light from the late afternoon window.
drinking coke alone at the bar.
an old man with a cane reminisces about past friends among the stacks of ceiling-high used books.
katy calls to say she will drop her roommate in order to live with me.
my mother awakes crying from a dream about me.
i leave everything as it is for one more day.
