PREPARATIONS
it’s cool tonite in s.francisco. i sat on the stoop, warmed by the fire of a cappuccino & the calories of an oatmeal cookie. the moon was a flashlight on the streetlights on the nightlife… the spotlight tracking swarms of indistinct taxicab rides. so funny to think all this swirls around the sleepiness of my apartment from sun to stars & back again. i am oblivious. i like...
