They look like they were sleeping though. They look like they were smart enough to know it was just another night. Best to sleep. Best to rest.

Better to wake up in the morning.

But here we are.

There they are.

some questions for inertia

how is it possible to run headlong at someone right in front of you and never reach their side?

paper cut.

The first thing I learned when I was born was to tough it out. Not to be tough. Just to tough it out. There’s a difference. God, there’s a difference.

The world is unfair, I learned. The world hurts sometimes. The world is, ultimately, forgiving, and eventually all tends to work itself out.

And so we tough it out.

She stays even though he can’t hold her while the nurses do their work. She stays even though every fiber of her instinct tells her she should run.

in the sun / shade-less

lessons.

I find Hamoud again, this time with a broken box and a single kitten, smaller this time. Hamoud-sized. Even so, he looks like he feels big, standing there holding it, this kitten even younger than he is.
