I was passing the time for a while

in a large bookstore

open until midnight



I was reading through magazines

with my old friends in them

reading the horoscope



and then A TV guide and

a best seller

a magazine my friend is in

and a magazine that I'm in

Paid for the whole thing by credit card



at the big free market

opens only on Saturday afternoon

I was passing the time alone



yesterday, I was thinking about things

I stayed awake until mornin
