TIME KILLER

me: flitting barefoot around the house, babbling to myself/my parents/my food. taking naps, waking up to play the piano ("compose") and write. my father says i'm a mama's girl, but still...i am a real GROWN-UP PERSON. i am smoking cigarettes--virginia slims--cynically in the parking lot at work. looking vaguely, lustily in the direction of planes taking off at the nearby airport.

you: played a song about the shadow people. we started to wonder about them, like what if they are really real??? we dove under the covers laughing, pretending to be afraid...but then nighttime came.

we: were $3 winners, twice. so really, $6 winners.

    I needed that cash back.
