he came to me in his moment of darkness, and i wanted to wipe away his tears. but all i could give him were my words. words that sounded trited and insincere. words that had no experience. words that seemed empty and meaningless.

i clicked send and wished he saw something in them, at least a tiny glimmer of hope.

inspired:
lorrie moore, author of self-help and birds of america, which i'm reading and enjoying right now.

lost:
my thoughts are darting back and forth, and it's making my head dizzy.

found:
cheap and used CDs, at moby disc: fountains of wayne, utopia hwy, $5.99; lili haydn, lili, $2.99; hayden, everything i long for, $2.99.

overheard:
"don't do it," -- me, talking to the TV.

nonsequitur:
fortune cookies never tell me what i want to hear.

say hi:
guestbook + e-mail.
