I stopped dreaming.

Sometimes I am worth less than the cats.

That's ok.

I'd like to buy back some of that time.

Maybe some snacks.

No ice left in the icebox.

Perfect little bluebird wing 

in the grass, devastated. 

Have you considered changing your name or tune?

You beautiful buffoon.

Have you considered tearing your face 

clean off.

I wake up and practice the lines 

on the disappearing sheet, adjust

the mask.

A perfect holiday layover.

We can get some lunch on the way.

I empty the travel log.

Become villainous.
