a body lost in thought
stays hopelessly lost in thought
for as long as the latte lasts
and the coffee shop stays open

“She's the year of the horse,” Metri said as he peeled his dirty head from the bed, his hair was as matted as a racoon tale. It was as wild as a wild animal and smelled like body odor with a hint of blood. He slid his scabbed hands up to his chest as if to…

Slack is harder to
