Where 8th Meets 16th



: early morning darkness; fog horn is a snoring giant; Jonathan Franzen's Freedom; sesame bagel with hummus and tomato, California breakfast; porch-steps to a screen door office; my picture taken next to a mannequin; we talk as he smokes Benson & Hedges; dogs in Ohio; lunch at JB's, tuna sandwich, cranberry juice and a bag of Lay's; take the 10 towards downtown; can hear Coldplay: "Yellow" from someone's earbuds; where to rest my eyes? Knees seem like an OK spot in-between maudlin (feet) and perverse (crotch) but not creepy (face); tuxedo fitting by boy in a bright blue shirt, ignore his dandruff; Mondays are a "bloodfest"; yogurt and granola then Lean Cuisine Chicken Parmigiana for dinner, nuke the living daylights out of it; outside the night air is window and the trees are loud; police lights on the edge of the park, a figure dances in the searchlights and more scan the bushes and lawn.
