in the days building up to a seizure
If I can get past the bridge, I can make it. How many windows on the building across the courtyard? Will my coat cover my legs? What if my socks fall down? If I get past the bridge, I still have to get past the Greyhound station. All the kids carrying rolled-up sleeping bags, asking for spare change and cigarettes. This apartment is shrinking. The north wall moved one inch. I don't have a tape measure to prove it. Do I want to cross the bridge? Yesterday, there was a trail of fresh blood spatter down the center. I did not take pictures. I made it across. Are bridge spans less stable in the rain? If drops pelt the same spot over and over, do they eventually drip through?
