Sometimes I get the feeling that I am not insane. No
matter how many times the 6-foot white rabbit appears.
Maybe when I’m alone smoking and drinking my
coffee in the evening hours, I’m truly not alone.

Couldn’t you come over? - by Zita Mirabal

Because all the mouths moving in synchronicity with the
clock couldn't prompt me to reveal the hazardous
thoughts invading my mind like the vandals on the roof
top next door, lurking in the sleeping stillness of the

you're smiling and it's making me smile
I want to put my hands in your hair

I don't want to
