psalm 107:9
"for He satisfies the longing soul"
i'm waiting. i
seek, and will i
find?
"and
fills the hungry soul with goodness"
can things stop
hurting after so long?
You call
beauty from the darkness
and i can say
i am truly happy
*
there is order.
one sock, two socks,
left shoe, right shoe,
bra, shirt,
burrito, milky way,
a sip of sobe.
the grocery items get scanned before the
clothing,
and are put away once I get home:
eggs, milk, bread, 100
calorie packs that are bags with air.
facebook, email,
double check to make sure no one's on,
then if there's time, maybe some work.
maybe. that is not the
priority
*
the things that make me think of you.
1. the total price for
that ds game, on sale, was
11.11.
you know, the old
robotics team you were on in
high school?
1111.
i thought of you.
2. there was a sale on
pokemon, in the back,
those cards taht are really only
supposed to be for kids?
well screw that, because
you and i both know
we're too old, but we still
stuff cardboard cards under
pillows, between
book pages and
smile at a not-so-distant childhood.
i smile because it
reminds me of you.

1. oxyclean may or maynot contain
hydrogen peroxide, the
cashier warns, because
someone might sue him otherwise.
the customer, she shrugs and says,
billy mays told me to buy it.
billy mays, her patron saint,
she wonders if one day next to
our Holy Father, the Virgin Mary,
an unceremonious pitchman will have
a candle with essence of clean that will
burn in dark rooms, with
bins of saved up pocket change.
if the hydrogen peroxide
burns when applied incorrectly,
she sees a
divine punishment.
101. mendelevium.
what the heck is mendelevium
she said it like a tongue twister
making herself look less and less intelligence
(the blonde hair didn't help)
it sounds like something some
evil scientist would pour down your throat
to kill you in slow painful ways,
she laughed with a burning chug of vodka.
don't drink so much, he warned her,
but she continued to flip her fingers through the
blocks liek a shopping catalogue:
californium, einsteinum, berkelium...
did they run out of ___ names?
