+ James Gandolfini died.
At least he died in
Italy, Nicky says,
but I just think, one
night in bed, that
his family would just
have to pay extra to
move his body back to
Jersey. That is, if
they wanted him
buried there. And
why not?

wingyi forgets deadline, dreads not graduating

you missed a deadline
everyone has
pat pat
glad everything's okay

what was the reason
you missed it?
just plum
forgot?

we can remind ourselves
by different means
but you can't fix forgetting
by that I mean the act of forgetting

of course you will
keep on chuggin' youse
in the meantime
will write poem about this

my unemployment benefits cease(d)
i used to claim them online, like, every sunday
that was life, more or less,
i dragged my computer around like an ape.

then someone came
out of the light they stood.
as to what brought 'em there i did not know
naturally, i asked, what brought you here?

I came for your sake, which is enough.
and now I am leaving,
with or without.
