Must Reading

emails from people I’ve never known prices of houses I’ll never own
notice of another disapproved loan
in some ways better than being alone
reading in the nowhere zone
journals littered with unfinished pages
employment offers without any wages dramas that never made it to stages
in some ways better than being alone
reading in the nowhere zone
exotic vacations I’ll never take magazine covers I’ll never make
lists full of records I’ll never break
in some ways better than being alone
reading in the nowhere zone
