Some days you just don’t want to be perceived.
—Taylor Tomlinson
Like yesterday, for example.
What is this talk of having no
friends, anyway? Liar. And
so there was engagement for
hours, unexpected camaraderie
followed by a walk through a
dark and perfectly cool night
in the city that had brought us
together all those years ago.
I had planned on writing a few
of these, cleaning up my neg
lected apartment that had
gotten all cluttered from a long
and stressful week at work. At
work, as I’m doing my job, there
are always people coming and
going, many of whom I do not
know at all. Some of them stop
to say hello. In less than two
minutes we are often engaged
in a very complex conversation
of astounding depth and breadth.
