Exhibit B

You are freaking me out.

You are.

Your eye wanders through these vowels

in search

of an answer to

a question

I never

imagined.

Four

dictionaries

colonize

my desk

next to a stack of

unread letters,

dusty old books

and forgotten poems.

A dated map

on my right wall

covers

sepia pictures of

another

life.

I wiggle my toes

and like you, become

a voyeur:

my fingers have begun

to have an affair

with my keyboard,

my eyes fixated

upon the screen;

unbeknownst senses

prioritize

my thirsts.

Timely and tragically,

from the right hand corner

of my screen,

running digits puncture my pupil,

and I let go

of this rapture.

You still

want

answers?

I have to run once again.

Hey Chris, I am well, thanks for asking. April brings showers, cruelty and a few charming surprises... like hearing from you! Still running, still smiling and mostly looking for a way up the rabbit holes and over the bean stalks! What about yourself? Any good questions/answers/musical finds lately?
