I slept in and drank too much coffee when I woke up- got on the phone and cancelled my aunts ISP and signed her up with somebody else. To forget the frustration I ran the 8 mile sachem’s head loop. Folks waved hello, a cat let me pet her, a gang of does looked at me like I’m the animal. I sweat a lot. It’s hard running 8 miles when you’re a little thick around the middle.
AJ and I went to Madison Art Cinemas to see the Tommy Lee Jones Meryl Streep film Hope Springs, filmed partially in Guilford in stores on the green. It was the prime showing packed with old folks. Aunty said the film reminded her of the meh list from nyt magazine. It made me think how entropy the way of the universe turns it all into rock and ocean and we are the only thing there to hold on to.
You are the sand dollar, the seaweed frothing on the mermaid’s feet. You both are. Sweet fish.
