Running through a series of hallways and corridors as part
of an obstacle course game. I lose my partner somewhere along the way and
venture outside to peruse the streets. Cars parked on the curb. I select a nice
looking sports car and hijack it. But I don’t turn on the ignition yet. I take
a few minutes to enjoy the thrilling moment. Meanwhile the owner returns to his
car to find me inside. I play it off like we knew each other and I was waiting
for him this whole time. I guess he plays along too.

Strawberry Toaster Pastries. Orange Juice.
All day shift at China Wok.
At the restaurant counter taking a lady’s order that, by the
attire, I can tell works at a nearby office. She smiles big and compliments my
Edgar Allan Poe t-shirt. She’s got a pleasant ora about her that’s really
attractive.
Mom shows up. It’s her last day in Virginia Beach. She
accompanies me on a delivery run. Peeling a Florida Orange for me while I
drive. It’s nice to be spending so much frequent time with her. I hate that it
has to be rare.
...
Jimmy comes to pick her up and they go off to have dinner
with Jimmy’s brother.
Nuts. Five Guys French Fries with Ketchup. Honey Green Tea.
Work is steady and the tips are generally high. I can’t
complain too much.
It’s an unusually foggy and misty night making it a blur.
Bosc Pear.
Off work and back home
Broccoli, Snow Peas, Egg, and Rice in Brown Sauce. Peroni
Beer.
Fortune cookie says, “Laziness is nothing more than the
habit of resting before you get tired.”
Mom and Jimmy hang out with me in my bedroom. Art just got
off work and joins us. To the soundtrack of Jimmy past out snoring in my bed
the rest of us talk about this and that.
Art brings up something that goes along with the
long-distance relationship theme and the problems associated with it –
connections can’t grow stronger and the more physical time apart the more
disconnect there is.
Filling up on Oranges and finishing a movie.
Sleep 4 a.m.
