i was so weirded out when
you asked me my number
i forgot to cross the second 'zero'
so it just says 'O'

as in, "oh shit. are you really asking
for my personal phone
number
when I've spoken
to you

twice

ever?"

then i went home and had some bacon.

I have mangled
my old Dell
with the Windows
OS

on which
there were probably
thousands
of mp3s

Forgive me Bill
it wouldn't open
one menu
with twelve programs running at once

Today is a day for ice cream,
Today is a day for tshirts,
Today is a day for wrapping my arms around you and
pulling you to the grass
between giggles.

Today instead I sit below ground,
Today instead I watch the world through a square,
Today instead I zip up my sweatshirt and my arms mimic yours,
your arms folded skeletal
between cement slabs.
