Today my oldest friend called, sad. I took a walk in the sun past closed shops. I ate potato salad and lemonade. A cat napped with me for two hours at the best time of the day. I had a dream that my mother and I both liked to steal gasoline for our cars. I loved that. She set up fantasy trips for me and the rest of us. We went down water slides and drove past lines of cars that ended in fire. I've had dreams about driving in Los Angeles for days and days. What makes me happy right now is burritos and ice cream, stand up comedy, mixed cds from my sister, gifts from her boyfriend. I talked to my neighbor. We're all leaving for the desert in the mountains. I have two weeks left and I'm going to spend them eating and moving around.
