I read poems
and took a nap
after we had
breakfast at
Cinnamons.
I got irritated
and wondered
if everyone else
was irritated with me
or if it was me
that was irritated with them.
I read two poems to
K about Happiness
and then I pretended to
be the fish that was
deep fried
while kept alive.
We went to the mall
and checked the movies.
I bought undergarments
and we looked for a toy
for a cat that isn’t
ours.
The mall was ready for Christmas
and I heard songs about Santa Baby
and Marshmallow World.
We shoplifted things that would never sell
and that no one would buy.
a bunny for me
stickers for him.
When there was nothing else to see
we went home.
