sweet indulgence

when I want to splurge
I consume an entire can

of corn

A lazy river is not a Lazy River

when it requires
protective gear.

Foot notes

I was walking and
talking on the phone
when the man interupted my conversation
to tell me

I had beautiful toes

I thanked him
and crossed the street
as quickly as possible.

He caught up with me and interupted again
to tell me
he really knew what he was talking about...

he had written several books about toes.

Tipping

The second and
I think
the third glass
were complimentary

A nice gesture
from the bartender
that made it a
very
wobbly afternoon

Packed like sardines

The bus was barely air-conditioned
and still
the evil guy
three seats away
ate a tuna salad sandwich

Tag lines

I wore the wrong underwear today

Shades of grey

Monday morning and

the internet is down

I am having no success
mastering the digital camera

and the little rodent that scared me in the bathroom
is now taunting me in the studio

Desserted

There was no one else outside the restaurant
when the woman insisted I take the pastry

I repeated that I did not need it
but when she told me her four remaining teeth
could not manage it
I took it back to the studio for one of the guys

Sage advice

Our neighbor
that maintains the flower boxes
used to be
interesting.

Lately
she is just
annoying.

Street People

On my commute in
a woman
bought me a coffee

At lunch
a woman
demanded to know where
I bought my green heels

When I had just about
made it to my studio
another women insisted on describing
in detail
how she beaded each of her
three necklaces

Good Friday

It started with
a perfect meal

Damn

Something...

blocked the drain
and caused the alley
and our bathroom
to flood

Fire works

A candlelit dinner
is the correct way
to begin
the holiday weekend

Picking up

Friday
a guy in a suit asked me
what I was doing that evening
and if I was going to the Hamptons
the next day.

I told him I was a taken woman.

I didn't tell him I was
cleaning our apartment
all weekend.

Half time...

Maybe soccer
is a good reason
to call it a day
early

This Sunday

I'm lucky

My dad has
very
simple taste

Truck stopped

and the song played
on and on and on

Lefty

My two
stuck together

toes

make some things
challenging

Wake up call

I overslept this am

The alarm on my phone rang
at 7...

pm

Cake Walk

Preparing to leave for the weekend was smooth

but after getting lost for the third time
and not sleeping for the third night
my June third birthday was not as blissful
as I had hoped
