Fine

flashes of light 

insistent, slash 

the rear view mirror

tired, I look

for the cop car

speed-limit reminder 

but all I can see,

washing over me,

is sunset through the trees

Imprint

I am the serotinal student

clasping ideas between breaths

clamping lips around knowledge

i touch a thousand books

i read them all

The World Turned Upside Down

Until we saw Hamilton last year in Chicago--I hadn't really paid a lot of attention to the phenomenon. I *loved* the rap form, the function of the cast, was happy for Miranda's MacArthur Genius award... and all of that. But I was afraid that it would be a bunch of bad rhymes or some twee hagiography. So the show was such a pleasure and a relief. And now we just can't stop listening to the soundtrack all the time.

I was looking for tickets to the touring company at the Wharton Center and they seem to have very little information. It's almost funny, so that's not the reason I was in tears to "It's Quiet Uptown" after I dropped At off at college this morning.

It was tough coming home to an empty house after such a crowded weekend. The crappy weather and the drippy roof aren't helping.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

SANSU SURPRISE!!

She didn't know her brother would be 

at the restaurant for her birthday dinner.

She walked in and remembers thinking:

why does this guy look so much like my nana

and why is he sitting all by himself

And then she started squealing 

and didn't stop hugging him
