She reminds me of a high powered woman who works in my building, if she had gone to seed. She is wearing turquoise satin pants and has a backpack with technicolor cats on it. Her hair is poofy and her bangs fall into her face while the rest is pulled back into a high bun….

Sleeping and Pouting
He looks like he is sleeping and pouting, not reading on his tablet which I can clearly see him fiddling with, flipping through articles of the Economist. Head tilted down to look at the screen, his eyes lowered to read, he appears asleep, but his lips slightly pushed out giving him a resting pout face….
This Week Ten Years Ago
The Week of 3/26/2006 Witty one liner: Um?! You need to set sail on the reality boat now Quote of the week: “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” – Robert Frost. Offbeat oddity (courtesy of the planner): Koalas are the only other animals besides humans and…
Not Quite Motorcyclist
He looks like a motorcyclist except for his blinged out chrome gold sneakers and the furry scarf that tucks down into his well-fitted black-leather jacket. His form-fitting black jeans are soft and worn in, with three seams at the knees and a checkered pattern between the knees and his front pockets. He doesn’t have much…
This Week Ten Years Ago
The Week of 3/19/2006 Witty one liner: I tried to sniff coke, but the ice cubes got stuck up my nose. Quote of the week: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” – Eleanor Roosevelt Offbeat oddity (courtesy of the planner): When Canada’s new 1987 one-dollar coin design went missing, the Mint…
Two bags
Two bags between his feet. One is very full, straining a little at the seams. It is olive green with a supple, warm auburn leather on the bottom and black fabric for handles. The second bag is less full and black. His shoes are dark brown leather with little holes for ventilation. His dark blue…
Hey, Present Michelle
Hey, Present Michelle, If you hate it so much, just take it off the playlist, dumbass. I put it there, but you are the one whining about it when you have the power to do something about it. Without Empathy, Past Michelle P.S. – And saying that you don’t want to lose the song is…
This Week Ten Years Ago
The Week of 3/12/2006 Witty one liner: On the other hand…you have different fingers. Quote of the week: “Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.” – Earnest Hemingway Offbeat oddity (courtesy of the planner): Is it bedtime yet? A day on Venus is equal…
Caught
I caught her staring at me staring at another woman. She has a brown leather satchel between her wide-spread feet. Black combat boots and black pantyhose that are close to ripping. Short black skirt, a black cardigan draped over her lap, a book on top of that. She is reading it, underlining in pen as…
Arts and Crafts Time
It is arts and crafts time on the train. She sits on a seat in the middle of the train with a small bag full of wire strands and green tape. She rips off a decent sized piece of tape and wraps it around the wire quickly, efficiently, and neatly. When she finishes a strand…
Dear Life
Dear Life, Please stop “happening,” I need to get a bunch of shit done. Do you know how hard it is to write and commit to your dreams when YOU keep “happening?” Tone down the “happening” please and I will not have to resort to running away screaming to a cave and hermiting for the…
Wintry
He has on dark brown corduroy pants and a tan jacket with a high popped collar with metal buckles that remind me of hot topic coats and straight jackets. He has on tinted glasses, almost too light to be considered sunglasses, leather straps with buckets at the cuffs and collar, all of them done up…
