Slept in, unnecessarily.
Bought plants, bought paint.
Took Jay to the airport to fly home.
Painted. Tiled. Showered.
Drank with Toni.
Drove to Southcenter for dinner.
Date was late, I left.
He called after endlessly, berating me for not answering.
Drove south on Pac Hwy.
Went to the Player’s Club bar, never been before.
Pimps and hoes. Pimps tell me I’d make a real fine hoe.
Talked to Marvin.
Went home to meet Nate.
Drank some more and fucked.
Showered, sent him home.
Stood naked in the dark bedroom, light from the hallway creeping in.
Don’t want to sleep in the bed anymore. It’s not mine, it’s someone else’s.
Slept on the couch instead, curled up to Blue Planet narrating me to sleep.
Slept in, exhausted. Dehydrated.
Even more resentful of life than I was before.
Rinse, rinse, rinse, repeat.
