How To Live Alone

how to live alone

late night , the big chill
plays quietly, scenes flicker
kevin kline
glenn close
meg tilly 
suicide 
reunion
old school chums
jeremiah was a bullfrog.

there in the middle of it all
rapt in that old house
wrapped in the night
living vicariously in film
me 
daisy
a few dreams
but no music.
