My Feet

Are sore.

I can feel my pulse beating in my back.

My nails

Have dust under them.

Today I found a Donna Karan NY dress

Black Label

and Beautiful

and marked it for $14.99.

Size 8, floor length and sheer.

My take home prize

was a discarded

(I mean donated)

Red Long and skinny photo album

full of pictures from 1970.

Family photos and dog photos

graduations, bar mitvahs, and vacations to Israel.

One girl will be a character in the future.

I forgot to buy the bulletin board to

post her picture on.

My feet are sore

until my brain is numb.

The heat in Indiana

is hot enough to make the bugs flake apart.

There are also baby pictures

and a trip to Montreal

a high school graduation.
