Little Black Dot

today it snowed six inches and i didn't leave my house.
my entire life at this moment is
white. my mom made the mistake
of telling me that some woman at the school
baked five dozen cookies for us and passed them along
with six litres of soup.
FIVE DOZEN COOKIES.
i have never had so much baking in my entire life.
and guess who's a cheeky cat.
ca ca ca a a

tomorrow is monday but i have to keep reminding myself.
i have never felt more
on vacation
in my entire life.
god. it's fucking great.
mostly.
every time i come back to this town
it feels like i never left. but this time
i'm scared.
something is fluttering at my solar plexus.
something is staring me in the face
but i can't see it. i don't know where it is.
