Feb. 2 - Laundry Day by Jason WardellOne gas station receipt:
ten dollars gas,
energy drink,
apple juice.
One dollar and fifty-six cents.
Two movie ticket stubs,
faded thermal printing.
Crumpled napkin,
some writing.
One pen.
Spare key.
Half of a photobooth printout.
I'm smiling.
You're rolling your eyes. 02/02/2009 Author's Note: 11:45pm
