The Way of the Cabaret

People keep asking
and I don't know what to say
until they don't ask.

Global Warming Hits Home

A hot day before
Thanksgiving and tech week and
hiking with Libby.

My Concord Morning

Perform The Witness
for one thousand high school girls.
That's right. One thousand.

Visitors in November

Tug of war with Miss
while the house reminices
and waits for the film.

Finally

First day off all week
spent with housework and tiger.
Feath rolled into town.

No Nap for Reebs Today

A long day begins:
a 7am patient.
Ends: a midnight girl.

A Thank You for Maggie

For good Bartiquette,
corny jokes only I hear,
and reading my blog.

The Trouble with Food Stamps

Show up at seven
thirty. Wait 'til eleven.
You were forgotten.

Coma-Toes

Wake well from a nap
to an excited dog and
a hammering boy.

Laurence of the Living Room

Night flight to San D.
Quick! Write a haiku! Record:
Ben's watching a film.

Ethics

If my sister reads
my blog, should I write about
topless rehearsals?

The Gift of Hindsight

mugwumpin invites
and worries for this spring seem
dumb and immature.

One Leads to the Next

Another grey day.
Wake up late, wait for call-back,
finish flamingo.

One foot in front

A strong audition
A grey November Sunday
Run out of stuffing

A Project

Octopus, tiger,
and flamingo fabrics. Make
animals for Ben.

Rules to Feel Good

People come over
and we clean the house so they
don't think we're messy.

Sacrifice

Change of tube and tires
A three-inch tear slowed me down.
Fix and miss yoga.

Winter Plans

Ticket to Fairbanks
Glowing to think of going
Two years is too long

First the cell phone. . .

Joined myspace. It's so
weird. What about unlive friends
is so fun? New scarf.
