desperately seeking subleaser

today my roommate
reached the edge,
balanced on two--on one
tricycle wheel,
slipped and fell.

roadrunner,
watch that whistling
speck until--
SMACK, poof.
then flee the scene.

now troll craigslist:
refresh page every 4 minutes,
rifle through inbox
while holding breath.
this time, this time.

this time i've got you.
