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

Case Closed

A $249 bill
and
a little laser
making a little cut
in my eye
doesn't seem so bad.

Hot dogs

The highlight of the barbecue
was the overheated puppy
that I forced to sleep on my lap
and the other
that slept at my feet

Tights fit

When I opened my portfolio
for the interview
I immediately noticed

my underwear
shirt
and
pantyhose
I packed inside
for lack of space
in my bag.

11 years later
I can barely fit
all the work
I want to show.

Pipe Dreams

It is hard to imagine
one year has passed
since we signed on the bottom line
for our basement apartment
