the sky glowered tonight. after a beautiful day, it decided there had been enough sunshine and happiness and readied itself to scare the living hell out of everyone as the wind unsettled the bare branches. the tail end of twilight is probably worse than full night. a thick, smothering new cloudgloom loomed at one side, the contrast with the navy blue of not-quite-night making it seem closer than possible. for an odd moment, i really was frightened of clouds.

wore my light green semi-cardigan today--it doesn't seem to fit anymore. now my hair's a little too short, the color's a little too light, my shoulders are a little too wide. or maybe it just shrank. it used to be one of my favorite pieces of clothing, but it doesn't seem to be like me right now.

on the other hand, i learned about how the nervous system controls male erections today. take a deep breath, it'll make it last longer.

i'm working on my beard.

they say i'm hopeless
like a penny with a hole in it
they say i'm not less
than up to my head in it
