“sasha’s waiting.
dog’s a staying.
remembering - the aviary.
thinking she’d come walking -
around the corner.
my guardian.
was she there by that light?
sasha’s praying
dog’s a laying
skipped church again
the milk spilled on my foot.
took off my sock.
wait & rock.
sometimes I just wait & rock.
is someone gonna show up?
is someone gonna show up?..
skeleton man?
the banana hat man? -
adopt a little girl?…
Omen’s land? -
do they fear the little girl -
in fishes curls?
in fishes curls? -
Why not stay here? -
Why not stay here? - “
