go to bed.

October 25
Its 37 degrees outside.
And I have to walk home.
My project will stay here.
But I will leave.
I know. It will follow.

Not always on my mind,
It is always present.
Ideas coming… going
Somewhere I couldn’t follow tonight.
Typing kept my mind occupied.

I am leaving now.
I’m off to follow my shadow.
Across the asphault.
Through the parking lot,
Across the street,
Another parking lot,
And then over the blades of grass
Leading to my door.

It will be 71 in my apt.
(new space heater)
thanks to my roommate.
Me. I prefer cold.
Him. Warm.

The high will be 49 tomorrow.
Blacksburg weather: subtract 10 degrees.
And I will walk back to studio.
My hands taking turns holding
My computer.
So one can freeze,
While the other thaws.

Then I will sit,
Here.
Where I now sit.
And it will be 37 degrees.
And my project will be here.
