A List:

Reading signs in the little hairs at the bottom of the sink;

Losing track of mosquito bites until incident brushes over them, and then the bites are all that matter;

Barely missing the bus and deciding what comes next;

A stranger having a good night, music gushing and way too many people in the back seat;

Swimming shirtless in green-smelling water;

Weighing words;

Not knowing for sure what a first meal at 4 pm does to the body;

Someone saying exactly how they’ve been hurt;

The knowledge that hands are the best things to massage other hands;

Stringing bits and pieces together;

The noble intentions behind books bought and put on shelves and never opened;

(Hesitantly) wearing something new and (mercifully) no one commenting on it;

A sink that is never empty of dishes, and never wants to be;

An unexpected clearing;

Making room for someone else to sit down;

Someone else making room for you to sit down.
