nothing compares; no worries or cares
i’m feeling manic today. i woke up to the sound of the fire alarm. BLARING. BLASTING. i checked out my window and found a huge pile of students outside, huddled, freezing, waiting to get back inside. i threw on some pants and a sweater and walked outside, shoeless.
somebody burned a bagel in the toaster.
the groundskeeper, the keeper of the keys, addresses us. i noticed somebody propped the hall door open with a chair. please don’t do that. there are magnets that hold the doors open will release the doors and the doors will close, isolating the fire to that hall.
OH GOOD, AT LEAST THE MAJORITY WILL SURVIVE
do they suck all the oxygen out, too?
a mass of college kids on sunday morning, after a night of halloween partying, some hungover, most shivering, making jokes about being put out for a burned bagel. it raised my morale. i stood on leaves to lessen the harshness of the cold concrete. gentle cement. i felt good. i feel good. i had bacon and eggs and yogurt with honey for breakfast.
bahhhh all this happiness is coming from somewhere. i know some of the sources. how do i give back? how do i VERY FULLY appreciate and reciprocate such generosity of bliss? universe, i want to hug you.
