i have gone to the store
to the post office
i have made plans to go drunk bowling
i have been asked to do a reading in august
my book comes out in june
i have designed the jacket
i designed the jacket a month ago
i am in my new apartment
my landlord has given me a pamphlet about mold
i have stared at the pamphlet with a vague sense of alarm
which eventually turned into permanent, low-level anxiety
and physically manifested in my body spending more time in locally-owned coffee shops with free wireless internet access
thus stimulating the local economy
