southworth > vashon
woke up tired
got up anyway
made the ferry
with minutes to spare
went to the galley
didn't see the coffee
right in front of me
had to ask, then admitted
i don't know where i am
the cashier said,
vonnegut is my favorite...
finally pointed at my shirt
to break my vacant stare
i don't know what i'm wearing.
i overslept and now
i'm here

tahlequah > point defiance
they set me aside
because
of the height of my load
one deck crew member
consulted her phone--
not the screen but a
post-it note stuck to it,
aflap in the breeze like
an errant feather on a
cormorant's
wing
