Work

In a strip club, in an emergency room, in a refugee camp

Falling for a firefighter, staying single, trusting someone with your cat

Of failure, of the high dive, of other people

A trip with a stranger, a roadside rescue, a missing husband

An unplanned pregnancy, a twisted ankle, a case of dynamite

Along the shoreline, through a neighbor’s yard, in a back alley

Facing the police, facing your parents, facing the truth

Dad’s leftover stew, the kids’ Lunchables, coffee and pie with a friend

A detour in Samoa, an encounter in a bar, a snowfall in Colorado

Conspicuous consumption, retail therapy, a botched makeover
