we sleep in the bodies of strangers. feeling, seeking, wondering what or who keeps the metronomic beat. and our hair grows and breath flows, without bridling or balking the way it should under the tremendous pressure of being a thing that cleaves to a thing called the earth, under a thing called the sky. it's really rather arrogant to exist within these bodies, to claim them, to intend, to assert. and we push through porous clouds of people and places and things, finding perfectly sized tunnels and pockets where we pass through on streets and in cafes and libraries. spilling coffee, brushing shoulders, catching intended and unintended glances, tenderly cradling our belongings - these artifacts of our previous selves that we promise to gift to our future selves. we live in gilded days, like tiny snow globes in christmas shops, sandwiched between there and somewhere else. eventually, though, pitted and pressed, we discover that we can't blow ourselves back up with the air from our own deflated lungs.

special thanks to "Bob" on Hirsch and Western who hooked me up with this awesome bike (btw, anyone in Chicago looking for a used bike, let me know and I'll give you his info. he has lots of reasonably priced used bikes and seems like an honest guy). Also, special thanks to Rapid Transit Cycle Shop in Wicker Park for GIVING me the crate (free!) and even attaching it for me (win!).

auspicious transitions; emboldened by it just being the right thing to do. a storage space, a new autonomy, leaving behind a crippled car and a dangling apartment lease. humbled by a drained savings account and honest debt, snoring next to strangers, and ashamed of the marks of privilege that I inadvertently wear. tears from omaha to des moines (some tears are warmer than others) and a surprise cup of coffee in Iowa city (some cups of coffee are warmer than others). a mal de mer that made the ceiling squeeze and left me perceiving things more in terms of weights than sights and sounds: things differing by how tightly they cleave to the earth. right now, I'm all knots and knuckles and exit numbers.
