late for work i nearly ran the 2+ miles i arrived at the office dripping with sweat

* * *

in the food court at the nearly deserted mall i saw a young woman walking with her boyfriend he was holding her leash

* * *

he said yes you do have to be a good person but i'm developing my theory of assholism

* * *

the carbonated hiss of a newly opened bottle of beer made a sound like yes

* * *

he was sleeping in the doorway with his head and his feet sticking out of his blanket his feet were blackened his hair was perfect

* * *

the sky was blue and so are you she said it sounds like a song
