thursday

morning swears it'll be different
a silver pen is found, woman
with cell phone passes

a spectacular restaurant
closes for renovations, my phone
buzzes the owner's home

the food court sign says indian
white men eat in sorrow
between 11 am and 2 pm

employees self-start,
yes but slack is often
hauled by contractors

an eight-year-old fakes sickness
vomit seals the deal
"why do men have a penis?"
