A Day in the Life
A meal of oatmeal and organic bananas? I'm thinking and nibbling
on chocolate, Friday April 18th, 3:03 pm. Lifting the filter I see
there's more coffee and do a "I see there's more coffee" dance. The green
on that scrawny tree seems to be alive. The sky is doing that thing
where it's glarey and white and overcast. It's like someone trying
to be kind to you through the filter of their hangover so not really
caring. Earlier a drama teacher in someone else's clothes and mustache
socks came to watch my son. I descended to the underworld. I emerged
two neighborhoods over where people seemed real today (Greenpoint).
I bought a bagel with scallion cream cheese on my way, thinking
"Oh! this is the deli where I went with the Soy Bomb guy that time
I accidentally got drunk, having had drinks before dinner and during
dinner with the artists and the psychotherapist and forgot what
neighborhood I was in but it was here, I guess?" I never even realized
those were the days, I guess? I guess those were the days. Tomorrow
I promise to write a poem that isn't about writing itself. Or I'll put on
sack cloth to go with my new hair ("shorn"). I'll put on art clogs
and call it a day.
