“Hallway Mentality”

last day on the gulch

the cat looked at me and chewed

predictable non-response

the old war of everything against everyone

this is by necessity an adversarial task

rudderless and listing

all of my failures

life is a series of battles i do not win

memoir, autobiography, autophagy, epitaph, obituary

an onion bagel with butter, a corn muffin and a white hot chocolate

an empty dresser—she took the drawers and left

hallway mentality

not a lot to do but squander it
