The Long Winters - The Commander Thinks Aloud (#8)
Gagarin says, in ecstasy,
he could have
gone on forever
he floated
at and sang
and when he emerged from that
one hundred eight minutes off
the surface of
the earth he was smiling.
Then he returned
to take his place
among the rest of us
from all that division and
subtraction a measure
to and heel
heel and toe he felt
as if he had
been dancing
-william carlos williams, "heel & toe to the end"

Met this guy at the market the other day, he might film me talking about my Max tattoo for the Where The Wild Things Are movie. I'm afraid I won't have enough to say and I'll be a disappointment, but that's kind of my fear all the time.

Signed up for OkCupid.com again to try and meet some folks. So far, so good I guess, though I'm apprehensive about internet dating.
Excited for San Francisco, but I have a lot to do beforehand. My old friend Mike has been teaching English in Korea, but he'll be in town for his sister's wedding so I get to see him. Very glad about that.
