6 mo in LA

Waking up after dusk,

where did the time go?

Baby brother is 21 tomorrow,

clock hand spinning so fast it flew off.

He starts drinking just as I stopped.

We are on different pages, different time zones.

I'm at the grocery store buying a plastic bag to hold a plastic bag.

Everyone is telling me to fix my face,

but I just want to fix my mind.

I'm out here on my balcony everyday,

looking at the Hollywood Hills at night,

looking for a sign.
