Two sips at a time.
Today was cold, colder than the wool sweater I wore and the rain-proof shell I threw into my bag as I left, running to catch the bus, having woke up sick, stuffy, misaligned. One would have been misled by the morning: sunny, warmer than anyone had dressed for. Sitting on the concrete block at the bus stop, sipping the warm drink I bought after realizing I had enough time to get a caffeine fix now instead of later, trying to humor and avoid the "eccentric" woman also waiting. Throwing on my work shirt, knowing I was ill-prepared in rest, not to mention levity.

His room contains these constants:
-Empty liquor bottle
-Rick James record sleeves on the wall
-a Kafka quote scrawled in yellow chalk upon his bookcase's side

-An expanding shelf of Situationist literature
-Bookmarked, dog-eared books hidden around, ranging from halfway done to almost
-Alphabetized crates of records
-Relics of his Southern past
My body hangs. Sounds curve around it and I'm too worried to keep my eyes closed.
"Rumney spent much of his life living as a wanderer, and was variously described as both a 'recluse' and a 'media whore', seeing his existence as a 'permanent adventure and endless experiment.' He moved, as his friend Guy Atkins said, between penury and almost absurd affluence. One visited him in a squalid room in London's Neal Street, in a house shared with near down-and-outs. Next, one would find him in Harry's Bar in Venice, or at a Max Ernst opening in Paris. He seemed to take poverty with more equanimity than riches."
