this morning i woke up with this girl.
i got up to use the bathroom and found it occupied.
i proceeded to the bathroom in the basement of the building.
when i was finished i walked back up the four flights of stairs
to find i was now locked out of her apartment.
at this point i had in my possession
ten dollars
and the clothes i wore yesterday.
my glasses, wallet, and phone
were in her room.
my bag and the rest of my clothes
were in another girl's room.
i stumbled blindly out into the day
and found my way to the student union grill,
where i squinted at the menu
until i could make out the prices for
french toast,
hash browns
and orange juice.
i received my food, paid with cash, and,
not finding any maple syrup in the vicinity,
settled for mixed fruit jam.
i ate in silence,
and the whole blurry world was my problem.
