Trudging home on a Friday, he calls
to report on his day at the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He walks forty-five minutes
\nto work rather than ride the metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From his desk by the president\u2019s
\nglassed-in office, he anticipates praise <\/p>\n\n\n\n
for organizing the entire marketing
\ncloset and contemplates his r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He chronicles a trip to Capitol Hill,
\nto deliver newly published books,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
observes grapes cost $2.50 a pound
\nat the D.C. Whole Foods,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wears the same three outfits
\nout of his carry-on suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He realizes microwave meals, a banana
\nand granola bar can only do so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His haircut shines like the full moon
\nover the capitol. If funds permit,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
he will visit the animals at the zoo,
\nwith a girl he met in the rotunda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He slogs to his sublease in weather
\nAnd looks forward to a frozen burrito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His housemates are on vacation to Italy.
\nThe bathroom, at least, is his for a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she is not at Eastern Kentucky University, helping students write and produce plays, do stand-up, and edit their journal, Gaby Bedetti hikes, takes photos, and sings in a choir. Though Ringling Bros. is gone, she has stepped into Cirque du Soleil\u2019s cabinet of curiosities and joined their Corteo parade. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
