Changed, all changed– Several thousand dreams later– here I sit on my sofa after re-reading several unrelated entries. Except they’re all related. How can I say where I am now? How can I show in words what has happened to make everything now rather than then? I need to show the week leading up to Jimmie’s last day. I have to show that Friday– the zombies, Gail, Sue– sleeping with Jimmie that night– and the drive to Oklahoma City– and the week– Naomi, contact lens, clothes, bars, Jimmie, Judy, Teri, Norman Oklahoma, Denise, the game, Jimmie, suede coat, airport, New Orleans, Mom, Rene, dead Lady, Aunt Cat, the trailer, my room there, no money, knee, Melinda, back, back, back, back to Washington. Back to work.
