Ten.Nine Hundred & Seventy

1. Bird chatter. I can’t remember the dream. I just remember that I wanted to remember it.

2. I just want to be done by 10.

3. I can’t help it. I google the name to see what he looks like. There’s a recent article from the 20th; new evidence retrieved. I feel hopeful.

4. “But here you are. And I think we have found each other because we are meant to create, dream into being, something that has never existed here.”

5. Game time.

6. An even playing field. I like this coach a lot.

7. Game ball.

8. So cold. Wind whipping. I know the kids out on the field are freezing. These innings are too long.

9. I let them skip showers so that I can have all the hot water to myself. It’s been too long since I had a bath.

10. ”You have opened a door, and because you have opened it, we must go through.” - Cry, The Beloved Country
