By the time the sun comes up, I have been awake for hours. I’m not sleeping anymore and lying in bed has become pointless so I just sit in the dining room and look at the dark. My mind wanders and I figure things out and I make lists and I remember absent friends. The trees out front are just becoming visible and it reminds me of some party I went to when I was maybe twenty. This girl Lisa was there with my friend Kevin. All I really remember is I had on a pink wool sweater that I had just bought at a thrift store. I cut off the cuffs so the sleeves went just below my elbows and I think I cut some of the collar too. It was late spring and already temperatures were into the low eighties and humid. I sat on the front stairs and chain-smoked and acted all cool when people arrived.
