While you are in the clinic
I stay in the car to read
tips on how to save myself:

If stranded in cold water,
rock with the waves, place
arms tightly across the chest,
legs tucked together, ankles
crossed...


Startled out of my lesson
by a ringing church bell
I notice a sticker on the
jeep parked next to me,
it says, "Black Widow".

Smoke Curls

Filling the blue room
cigarette smoke curls around
light hearted laughter,
the regulars comment on
how it all worked out for the best,
I watch their giddy self importance
through the eye of my pen
sip my smooth black coffee
and miss you, my friend.
