cloud-covered sky
there are worse things to have
than two types of lavender Earl Grey

eavesdropping
on a conversation about victimization
I begin to feel victimized

eating kids’ cereal
while the cat roams around
another day in Paradise
—january 30

dark outside already
but some days
are the middles of stories
—january 31
5
for once, quiet
except for the sirens
and the snoring
6
I remember when
the world was smaller
connections delighted us
before we took for granted
our swollen follower counts

dinner with friends
followed up by the Platonic ideal
of glazed donuts: Krispy Kreme

evening darkness
hovers at the windowpane
the cat traps me in my chair
—february 2

late night
beneath the fuzzy echoes
of shrill conversation
I question whether
the stomping was better
10
writing the date
on ten poems in a row
I still fail
to remember what
day it is
