He had to shower in the communal bathroom. It wasn't full, but some international students that couldn't go home. They were also getting ready to go out. Probably to something more fun. Not that he had decided if he'd go out. He checked his phone he kept in his plastic...

I work with a chemist who doesn't really talk. But every meeting he presents 10 new molecules he made. Its nice when he does talk, because he always sums up things  no one says out loud, but they feel it. Today he said that research and science is like a...

Poems
opossum

I wish I could sort out all of those things for you. 
Like at the sand dunes 
That one time
We walked and walked and didn't wear the right shoes

But later it became apparent
further from you
there was sand
in the hallway and a lot of things left unsaid

Notebooking

Industry Worship

I am reading a history of pollution right now, but really I guess its a history of industry. But at each period there is a shift on what they think pollution is. At first, they knew many industrial processes were bad, and they moved them away from cities, and talked...

Like a Rolling Stone

I read today that Bob Dylan, or just Bob if I can call him that. Wrote 10 pages, just to get to the line like a rolling stone. This then exploded outward, and he added verses and choruses to make the song we know now. But before that, it was...

I just ordered an Uber

It’s hot out. There’s some sun shining through and to be honest, the door was swung open welcoming the heat and sun with it. 

I was waiting for you. Getting ready in the other room. There’s sound of a hairdryer. And when it stops you singing whatever song you heard...

Dusk

From where I am standing I see tall grass dotted with trees. The sun has set but it’s still light out. Maybe earlier you could wear sunglasses but now heat has turned into a cold breeze, and grass shakes like a sigh. 

Birds crow in the distance and there’s a...

Folding Napkins

Someone showed me by creasing a napkin and folding it, that you could only fold it about seven times. They weren't really making eye contact. Nor did they talk much more about this, and the conversation meandered into something more about the weather, and whether I was going to do...

Rushed Powerpoint

I am once again on a train   working on a presentation powerpoint , but also almost forgot to write. Been thinking lately as I have been forced to write some word vomit or small notes before the day deadline that I need to just write earlier. I was also thinking...
