I worked hard today. The elusive nature of the news had an etch-a-sketch effect--now a line, now a shake, now a blank. I read about space aliens. The morning was chilled. They know my standing order at the sandwich shop. People pray about the trivialities when it's the big issues that matter. I thought about the turkey call I did not buy. Sliced, thin steak with pepper. Watchful waiting. Heroes and the dead. Endless talking head inanity. An arcade of nickel machines and ten dollar problems.
