At 11 pm, it is 87 degrees and I sit in front of the air conditioner, eating oatmeal. The oats aren't soft enough, but it is sugary and fills me. Outside, the city hovers at the edge of a brown out, people sweating hopelessly inside small boxes. In Utah, it was cold…

with insomnia and wander about the streets
in their pajamas, knocking over garbage cans,

They’re getting kind o

When Chuck dies, I’ll throw/
