Just Enough

I sorry
For my long absence.
No longer.

There is much I have
To say, but too few
syllables - oh no!

Summer rocks,
I likes both my jobs,
God is good.

More to come.
Until then, I think He's
Just enough.

To the man at The Only Cafe in Modesto with WiFi, with love from Steph

by Lisa

man with my macbook,
with notebooks only i use,
coffee in a mug

you're really scruffy,
look sort of like orlando
but not so elvish

or as cute, but still.
i'm not sure how to break it -
is this not awkward?

i just want to say:
isn't it cray cray* that we
are the same person??

but instead i just
sit there and e-mail lisa
lamenting. silence.



*crazy, in Steph-speak

A shout-out, II

sharon is such a
good friend; she knows what it's like
to walk in my shoes

and in my sweater
(the hot pink cardigan/shrug),
and my brown jacket.

A shout-out

sharon tang-quan, i
am writing you a poem;
this is your shout-out.

you are a creeper,
even if david barta
knows your middle name.

yeah, i guess it's weird
that your big game ticket is
up on his corkboard.

Why can't Naan 'n' Curry cost a dollar?

Dollar Curry House:

i enjoyed it still.

but, naan underdone?!
even after waiting long;
it bothered me so.

In Taiwan

the heat is
actually alright
cause of rain,

the foodstuffs
are many and so
tasty, and

the traffic
will kill you if you
are not looking.
