Extra stupid place
your glasses can be placed
Far left corner of the bathtub
Hidden under the open and
bunched shower curtain
Leaving you blind and searching for
Eight hours

071023_1009 How he made me feel

Through the door I said
Please look at me,
I'm leaving, but he
He was reading trivia
And didn't have time
To tell me if I looked bad.
How come I am so
Unimportant to him
Why doesn't he look
When I ask?

071022_1113 Hair on the crowded bus

The texture of the hair around me,
Sharp straight thin i can see the mole under his light grey hair
Thick and chunky weighted by gel and a longer sideburn,
Short curly on top but straight sideburns on a girl with no earrings,
Black ponytail with several girly curlz and a bandeau,
Straight Asian page boy with black square sunglasses on an overcast day,
Blond curly shoulder length and dark eyebrows.

Bacon Bacon Bacon

I can't stand it. When there are four bacon loving people and 8 slices of bacon to spread between us (2 each), why does everyone look at the bacon on my plate with such jealousy as I slowly eat my pancakes, what lust is there? I see them creeping reaching for it. It's my bacon, I take the worst of it, the burnt pancakes, the small slices of bacon, the egg that always seems to go over harder than any egg ever has. why do you have to reach for my sliver of bacon, the salty overcooked soaked in maple syrup piece lying on my plate, my dessert if you will from pancakes and overdone eggs and you try to steal it.

071011_1600 Posting Flyers along the Mag Mile

The wind is cruel and cold
Like it doesn't want me there
I'd forgotten my jacket and
The wind is working through
the Light shirt I'm wearing
tearing at the flyers in my hands
cold and determined
I make my way south
Posting on poles from scaffolding,
no parking signs, traffic signals
wondering if this will make a difference.
