negativity will bring you down

on the outskirts of town

perfunctorily

on a quiet street

in a respectable neighborhood

surreptitiously

transcendant

under a cloudy sky

very nice, professor

where are you staying?

really? i never expected that

but youth will have its way

it was nice talking to you

and tell veronica i said hello

down by the old mill stream

consciousness returned

to the desperate man

entering the deserted city

birds flew overhead

an alligator crossed the road

he heard a vioice

i can’t give up now, he thought

johnny was right after all

kind of

let me get this straight

excuse me, i need to tie my shoe
