Relieved I wasn't pocketing
a cell phone camera 
when I was young 
and screwing up my life--
now that I am old
and screwing up my life
I know better
than to photograph it.

The woman writing
at the next table
has bandages
on her wrists
covering the injuries
she's inflicted
shaking her pen
like a thermometer
desperate
for her fever
to break.
