The warm smell

of empanadas
will never let me forget
ashtray cigarettes
or
that night I woke
convulsing cold
when the pavement
sucked the heat
from my body.

Riding the MAX
from here to
nowhere
and back again.

Killing time
until I have
time to kill.

Feeling nothing
as the world went
on without me.
