perfect summer fruits or a place where thieves meet
friday night we took two-fry on a walk around the house, right up to the edge of the woods
saturday, i cooked the last of the wild rice and ate it with the last of the kimchi. i cut up more old paper. i napped on the couch
yesterday fallie and i ate two apples and we passed two campmeetings on our way out of the piedmont. we talked about pools, and struggles, and plants, and fire
last night i dreamt of repeated meetings with old acquaintances who expressed regret that i was dying. i knew i wasn't dying and felt calm and undisturbed as i tried to reassure them, but they were unconvinced. cashiers and clerks and passersby on the street, overhearing these conversations, expressed their condolences too. these strangers took my denials as my brave refusal to acquiesce to death, and they praised me for my strength. i walked into a park, unconcerned by these encounters, enjoying the sunny day
i dreamt that i was known for my ability to find secret rooms and hidden pockets inside old buildings, but i wasn't really finding anything. i knew where they were already. i couldn't remember ever not knowing. the city was just a map of hidden places i carried inside
take and bake terrors, tall trees, and tally craven
i dreamt that i was a scout for an unseen gang of chaotically violent road warriors but mostly i was just alone, wandering down roads overtaken by nature and looking for clearings still large enough to set up camp
fallie rescued the cutest pair of skimmer baby pals this week but the salamander kept trying to get back in the pool
on friday night, i went to a show that i've been looking forward to for a long time. i had a funny interaction with the singer after the show, mj lenderman was in the soundbooth, and finnie grabbed a sign from the greenroom door reminding all of the performers that the noise ordinances kick in at eleven
a cop pulled us over on our way home with the lamest excuse for cause, immediately told us he wasn't going to cite us for his invented infraction, ran all of our ids, flirted with my son in a super creepy way, and then let us go. i understand that law enforcement plays an important role in a functioning society, but i have still never personally had an experience where they made things better, and i have had many experiences where they made things much much worse
yesterday, i decided against going to the site installation at goatfarm then i ate two fried chicken thighs and it was good
i read that farscape is a very popular show in some american prisons and i don't want to know if it's not true
i'm about to go for a ramble at my favorite spot and later i'll having hot dogs and oven fries for lunch and watch the last baseball game of the season
and tomorrow will always have to take care of itself
