I am not necessarily endorsing the book, since I've never read it.

No Mail Today

car accident on the way home

glad i missed that one

mother crossing the street
making sure her children are safe
a dead dog lies on the side of the road

hmm i wonder if that's the one

on the missing dog posters?

there's the guy that runs

every night after work

what is he running from anyway?

hope i miss the red light this time

then i won't have to look

in that homeless man's face again

probably spend the money on beer anyway

if i was thoughtful i could of at least brought a sandwich

oh boy, my car is filthy

but it's too late to go to the car wash

maybe i could pay the homeless man to wash it

nah too much trouble

i'll just go home, get the mail

like i always do

wait, it's a holiday

which one is it? oh yeah

Veteran's Day

i almost forgot
