Crank (Crank 1)

from Chase

who could

I get it from?

I thought.

And thought.

And finally,

one person

came to mind.

I got on my bike,

pedaled over to

Trent’s, hoping

Robyn was home

and in the mood

to share some

information. Vital

information

to a person

desperate for

a new connection.

Timing Is Everything

Mine was impeccable that day.

Robyn answered the door,

quite noticeably strung.

Oh, hi. Trent’s not home.

He went into town with Mom.

“Cool. I wanted to see you.

Can I come in?”

I eased through the door.

I don’t know… um…

the house is a mess…
