I have done
140 sudoku puzzles
in 30 days.
I know
because the book
numbers them
and I date them.
The last sudoku
that I did
was on the 21st.
The most I’ve done
is 8 in a single day.
I’m almost through
the mediums.
I carry the book,
which is losing pages,
in a little plastic
baggie which also
houses my wallet
and my anxiety 
medication.
I look at it every day.
But today I leave it
sitting on the floor
of the truck
to get lost
in the trash 
that always lives
there. Some things
you only love 
for a little while
and I guess
thats ok.
