Twisting like a curtain of blue
Caught in a steel and concrete valley
As the wind whips wild and wicked
Scattering dust like epithets
from Old Riley as he crosses the street
I cannot reach that spot

See you laters.
I know what I’m doing.
I’m not here to solicit your advice, worry, or your pity. I’m fine, really.
I’m working on several things.

It is temptation to revoke my license as an Asian American.
I am incapable of measuring volume related to fridge space for my leftovers
Or calculating tip and dividing dinner by the company minus one for the honored guest.
And story problems, in this day and age, terrify me.
This is math. […]
Happy b-lated birthday.
