BEAUTIFUL BAY

I wrote a letter to
the bay

Dear Bay,
how do you look so nice, without

-Chris

the bay can’t answer
stuff like that

but I recommend
writing letters to the bay

anyway

FINDING $5 IN A THRIFT STORE COAT POCKET

Tom Waits song:

in it,
that $5
could have
paid the
electric bill
that would have
saved the unhappy

but after the break-up
they both find their
true calling -

driving a Greyhound bus

turns out
the whole US

why didn’t we just
