The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:45pm

I live in a place

where all the vehicles

are the colour of angels

& license plates signal Me

I’m wearing white shorts

& Silver jewellery

sitting on My Tomato-coloured Couch

listening to 90’s on 9

listening to the decade

of My hospitalizations

where I didn’t read

just wrote & talked

much like Now

except Now

I want to Live
