a diary of words, paper and other ephemeral things

early afternoon

12:34 

while my daughter screams

“I’M SO LUCKY”

she found a quarter on the porch

I think about 

rollerblading because

I don’t remember ever

deciding to stop

my son wants to eat a whole

pizza for lunch

the porch door is open

I lay on the couch

as that’s what I usually do

I’ve bought so many 

books and courses

hoping to learn how to do things

placing my trust

in anyone’s hands but

my own
