novembre ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- downtime personified something feels ajar. wake up slowly as they leave, nudging you to make you hear their good-byes. placate the cat with a wobbling pillow overhead. eat parts of a piece of day-old red velvet cake, leaving the sickeningly rich frosting curdling on the sides of the tiny plate. decide not to eat anything else today given the contents of the day-old cake. stockpile tiny bags of garbage in the kitchen, recyclables to the left and refuse to the right. decide to move the dresser into the giant closet. sweep and mop the giant closet. let the cat out. face mask. step around piles and put away laundry. change geography of bedroom. wash off face mask. call old m. write to-do list. wonder how your nails have suddenly grown so long. remember to go outside. 2:19 pm - 07.14.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
