"Eva's Friend Masha May Drink Too Much" by Linda Bamber

From within a mild, persistent

or at least not disabling

(not at all disabling)depression

indistinct ideas

buzz

drift

things that happened yesterday

half-erased chalked glyphs on the board

from the class

before mine

the blind student racing

through the crowd

and the beautiful Polish woman

saying over and over,

Hit me with the wine; and laughing, laughing.

All's out of reach;now there's this

soft pale pockmarked

feeling

pancake batter

ladled in the pan.

Don't write stuff down right now.

No way.

Get videos. Hit

'play.'
