2x egg and cheese on toasted everything
bagels. 1 w/ ketchup, 1 w/o. Spare keys
in pocket, let myself back in. Don’t read into it.

humor. I wonder. Slide the wishing bean from the night
stand into my pocket. Instructions read: make wish,
hold on to for 7 days. Then discard, best to bury in soil.
I wait. Then, put us thumbs deep
into the spider plant hanging in my window.
