and hana caps
the beer bottles
in our kitchen

we take a sip of it
tastes like coffee

"that is because
there is coffee in it

more hops, though."

just then ruth busts into the kitchen
"i have rode on freight trains from ohio to tell mark
i am in love with him"
"oh."
"where is he?"
"he is on a date in berkeley"
"i just walked here
from the damn train yard
where the damn
is mark
damnit!"
"when they left they only
said they were going to berkeley"
"so,
at this moment
mark is on a date
right now
as we speak?"
"yeah"
"oh."
"yeah"

"...can i use your cell phone?"

i wash some more bottles
the red stripe bottles
