am I going
to give pink eye to
someone if I lend them a
book I've
read on the toilet?

the Chinese wasn't great

the day I decided to

move to Philadelphia, I

ordered General Tso’s

at a Chinese

place on

40^th and then
walked a few

doors down into a used book-

store.

found the fiction section.

added some C’s to the bookshelf:

Camus, Carver, Celine.

my journey to the end of the night

is just

starting,

I thought to myself.

out of the store and back on

the street, it

looked like it was about to rain.

I got my food and walked

to a new home.
