of the hallway in my grandmother’s house.
Behind the old man and little girl
is a round, golden mirror.

We took a walk and told each other stories
in scatterbrained bits and pieces-

Old hardware stores [and office supply stores] are

Those guardian taxis are all alone.
They keep on trying to follow me home.
Its late for the city,
but not for me.
I've been having some trouble falling asleep.
