“…I’m here. Here: that is my mattress…that is the notebook, with just ‘we’ so far; that is a spider summiting my indifferent, up-bent knee; that is my drooley pillow under my head, still drooley from this morning; that is the crack on the ceiling that looks like it’s grown just a little since this morning.”

-San Diego, 2010

But I still thought about Heidi, her long legs and her long cigarettes; and all those bills she laid on the table, ones and fives mostly….”

-Los Angeles, 2010
