Salisbury, England: Summer 2005

Ugh

A nice day-long hunger

Weakening me

Mmm

I can taste it

It tastes like my breath

Sniff

My sheets for tonight

Thank you Hostel

Exhale

This guy underneath me snoring

Like it’s the right thing to do

Like he’s helping the room of eight

Another sniff

These sheets smell

Like so many people

Oh

What it’ll be like to eat a meal tomorrow

After none today

More snoring

Fine be my clock or something

Bright light

I actually fell asleep

God is a nice person

Five Thirty

You’ve got to be kidding

All these people are getting up

Five Forty Five

I’ll take a shower

Then sip tea and play solitaire

Until the girlfriend comes down

Stir

I wonder if the women’s dorm was quieter


Shuffle

This game is inherently flawed

Smile

There she is

She looks so good

Blah

Blah blah baby blah

Blah baby blah

Gasp

Doors to the food are open

Fucking finally

Sniff

Barely any of this is vegan

But I am starving

Grab

The stuff that isn’t meat

Eat

Eat eat eat eat

Eat eat eat eat

Baby

Let’s go to the bank

And then get some Subway

She says

Yes

Fucking yes

I say

I

Love you

She says

I

Love you too

I say
