last night there was a cockroach
poking its feelers out from it’s rooftop hideaway
and at night it caught me by the creeps

but today in the
afternoon brightness
complete with my coffee and sun hat
i’m not quite as creeped

and maybe that’s the lesson for today:
the despair from yesterday
can turn to creativity today
which maybe someday could develop into
flow[tomorrow]

June 21

nothing makes you feel
quite as good about a decision
as waiting forever for a Lyft
in a crowd
and having a woman stop rushing past
for a moment
to make eye contact with
only you
and say
‘welcome home, right’
