An infant lying on his back just turned on his tap but there is not enough water, it looked like a a long transparent then film. A lady broke it off and found a similar thinner tube inside and fed it back to the kid.
On an aerial trip in a seat over water. Had to hold to the sides of the chair, brushing off thoughts of what the fall could lead to.

Life in hindsight
Interactions with travelers. The world looks at you and lets you know, you are fat. The world, the mirror, the equaliser. If your family does the same, you revolt. When a nameless face does it, you cry but you listen up. The world like the nurse, pats you for your nise, squeak so you let the world know that you are alive.
The cost of non-reticence in public transport.

The sleep of life
What is that something restorative that lets you place all things personal on a shelf and take off from where you left, after the life is back in you. Like picking up your belongings from the jailer when its time for parole or freedom.
Cartoonists
They take reins of their life way early.

Al Jaffee too had this sense of need to take control of his life as he couldnt trust his mother to take care of him.

New writer
I wonder how else I could be introduced to Breece Pancake's work, if not through Five million head of cattle by Samantha Hunt.
In the essay I like how she tells about herself by telling about an opposite of herself, calls a song a heartache.

The joy of essays
How to be alone, essays by Jonathan Franzen. In 2003, I heard about his novel from a penpal but never read any work of his. Essays is something I am more likely to read than a novel.

After coming across Vetted, from the sound of it, I recalled that I meant to look for vatic.
Sound is a way of words to keep each other from going into oblivion.

Veneer
The dreams that get us close to the flying wings of an eagle, of a colorful pterosaur. Legs slipping down the cliff, but no fear even with an inadvertent hunchback behind. Beneath is the water dating beginning.

She always wore pants ( usually jeans) and low-heeled shoes ( usually sneakers), and she refused to carry a purse.

I move my face
left right slightly up down slowly
a silent photographers directions
so a beam of sunlight
can smother me
This kind of thing
could impregnate me
I wrote this after the cue of sunlight
