Last night The urge to pee forced him to get out of bed. His entire body ached. Where was she? She wasn’t in the bed with him. After he painfully went to the bathroom, he went back to the bedroom, there she sat in the bed. “How are you feeling?” She smiled at him. “WhatContinue reading “Winter Season”

Dream: poetry slam
In my dream, a group of us were at a poetry slam. Never been to one but I’ve seen them on t.v. The group I was with was indifferent. One impatient.

What am I? The answer
I was going to put the answer in the comments of my last post. But I figured that wasn’t fair. So what was I? The picture was of the inside of my friend’s hard top convertible. I never could find the name of the material. The internet kept taking me back to shade cloth. ToContinue reading “What am I? The answer”
