5:39 p.m.

my favorite moment of yesterday:

eighty thirty in the morning, waiting for the bus to take me to bart. smoking cigarettes and everything is damp with that sort of misty morning dew. the sky gray and the moon partially visible.

and eventually the bus came. and when it did- reaching into my pocket, looking for a dollar- i realized that i only had a five. and although i actually considered it, i decided that i wasn't going to pay five dollars for the ride.

so when the driver asked me if i was getting on, i shook my head, and he drove away.

i took that five dollars and walked to 7-11 and bought two donuts and a cup of coffee. and back at the bus stop, i found a piece of curb that wasn't wet and sat down with breakfast.

the buses run every half hour that early in the morning, but honestly?

the time just flew by.
