Extra Special Bitterbudget talks
steam rising
from the compost
first tendrils of light
struggling to remember
my incomplete dream
warrior pose
the yoga instructor's
impassive smile
beside our table
an old stray dog
with puppy eyes
her words sea glass on the shore
novelty store
fulfilling my need
for rubber chickens
novelty act
an old man posing
as his younger self
sound bite
a barking dog
a fawn in a sweater
how I want it
to be real!
