[i]




I wake up at 2pm.


Dream: I’m riding on this strange flat bed bus with no roof traveling through some city in India I think. Each person has their own seat with these miniature bookshelves holding stacks of colorful tiny books for your enjoyment while you wait. We start going down a very steep hill and the bookshelves tilt forward. A man’s hand reaches from behind me to hold the books in place. I help him and grab one of the small books. It fits in the palm of my hand. I try to read it but the type is too small. I can hear a recorded voice from a PA speaker identify all the stops the bus makes, “This is Shantytown. The next stop will be…” I look around at the terrain and I see old spherical buildings and mosques. My stop is a specific part of town that is popular because everybody gets off there. I start walking around and the natives try to sell me things. The sun is almost setting and everything around me is vibrating with these deep orange colors. It feels so real and beautiful.


Breakfast: Toasted Bagel with Butter and Apple Butter Spread, Orange Juice, Zinc and Vitamin E.


I go to Target for bread, OJ, and cream cheese.


I stretch.


Work at China Wok.


Dumpster Finds: a full size mattress, a two-level Kmart shopping cart, a TV.


I share a homemade dinner with Margot: Ginger Chicken with Onions, Tomato Macaroni and Cheese, and Garlic Spinach. Afterwards, we go to Skinny Dip for frozen yogurt and then wrestle in the car.


NBA Jam with Art: 2-3


I have fun with the junk I throw out for curbside pick-up:

I clean my teeth, read, then go to bed. 5:45am.
