Jul 2015
the hot water only lasts about 11 minutes
which is just enough time if I don't shave
so I don't shave and for the first time in
weeks I'm idle, with exhaust streaming
out my pores, all shallow breath and
wet hair watching the water hit the
curtain behind me, thinking about
how glad I am to only pay for
electricity, thinking about
how god, i just wanted
to run tunnel drive
this morning but
could barely
muster the
energy to
talk much
less   fe   e l any thin
