An ant

...was baked into my bread (inconvenience).
...ate a roach in my bathroom (gross).
...forced a friend to come sit closer to me ("chance").

I drank a blended drink that puts wheat grass shots from jamba juice to shame.
I drank milk from a bag from a cow that put me to shame.
I drank from a hole in heaven's floor atop my flat with no shame (because that doesn't come with each new moon).

You're missing out.

Present needs:
Patience and compassion and energy and somebody to play basketball with.

Present certainties and thanks:
There is a fountain,
And the fountain leaked some refreshing drops of water on an otherwise dry day.

Peace be.

of that hole in the floor, how nice.

the hole in heaven's floor here i think grows larger and larger by day and hasn't closed for a month and i would love to offer you some of it.

though i am thankful for the gift timeless (or perhaps timeful), spaceless (and spaceful) bond, i often consider our physical reunion with hope.

sorry for the cheese. i just like you.
