Olive pits. Glass shards.
Bent straw. He warns, It’s not a

New year’s resolution

Why bother vowing
change when you’re satisfied with
your lazy-ass self?

Abandoned blog

Held back by your tight
seventeen syllable leash,
I write elsewhere now.

Visitors to a dead blog

WordPress stats: twenty-
two-thousand views in ’12. This

blow dry her hair while I rub
away sleep, then drive.
