Doing
Our Best
Left
my Pendleton shirt
at
my girlfriend’s house
the
night we split.
I
saw her wearing it in Doc’s It Club-
Kind
of a black watch
with
a tan stripe underneath the plaid
that
accented her auburn hair.
“Recognize
it?”
“Looks
good. At least you
could
buy me a beer.”

At Midnight
I
found a Las Vegas locust in my
bathroom
sink last night,
waiting
for the faucet to drip
a
drop of water.
“Is
it the AC, the leaky faucet,
Or
do you care about me as a man?”
“Well,
to be honest, I love the cool
apartment
, I adore the blob of
water
on my grasshopper head,
I
appreciate the vibe. So that’s you,
I
reckon. Does that answer it?”
