shuffle
Dress in weather appropriate gear-
today included my (brother's) oversized, white Dublin tee//Mississippi charm necklace//high waisted black short-shorts//catbird threadbare rings//white star spangled converse//ponytail
grab bags
today's included my catbird tote holding all my junk//small fossil bag holding money and subway card and phone and keys? keys.//jane's closet bag
Make sure I have my keys
turn off the light
turn off the ac//turn off one fan// turn up my room fan
goodbye kiss for Bartholomew as he goes to take a nap in the bathroom
make sure I have keys and lock the door!
down one flight and out into a wave of heat and blinding sun
hellos to the barber (lil ant') and neighbor (george) and weird dog on the corner
chapstick/sunglasses
avoid being hit by a bike
down one flight and stand on subway platform smelling weird smells and drip off all makeup and feel gross and eat breakfast bar
welcome a wave of hot air and shuffle into subway (stand clear of the closing doors beep)
enjoy the air conditioning and the smell of the boy next to you who is wearing amazingly good soap? cologne? magic? everyone normally smells awful what is happening
and off into more heat
up two flights through the throws of humanity and so many strollers and shopping bags and guitar cases and there is a puddle on the floor still after a week?
step onto the hot pavement and smell fresh flowers and pizza and walk
in.more.heat.
