Aug

Sunday night in the North Side

Rice for dinner

I should add an orange and go mope in a corner.

(you know what I’m talking about)

It’s been raining all day

and my 5 year plan is washing down the drain

Another day Fate asks me why I try to plan at all

and don’t just bow to the chaos inherent in my existence

the lightning-fast and molasses-slow events

that conspire

to derail what I thought had been best laid

because I don’t want to be a waitress at 40

or

a secretary

or

a deli manager

or

nothing at all.
