miscellaneous statements of fact

today had me kneeling in the dmv parking lot changing out the mn license plates in favor of the new ca plates. now flash gordon (jury's still out on the name but i'm leaning that way) is 2 legit 2 quit, y'all.

today also had me wandering the main stacks of moffitt library. have i ever told you how much i LOVE libraries? it's a quasi-religious-ecstatic thing, really. it feels so good to be in libraries, and walk past all the people-clogged workspaces back deep into the stacks where you have to turn the wheel to move them back and forth, so you can get into the spaces you want to get into. it's muffled and dusty like a church but with knowledge instead of dogma.

time it was and what a time it was it was
a time of innocence
a time of confidences

long ago it must be, i have a photograph
preserve your memories
they’re all that’s left you
