everything else: cathedrals everywhere

dear internet,

there’s a disease that’s killing my beloved city rabbits. there’s an inconsistent chill in the air, autumn faltering at the year’s doorstep. there’s a pimple on my chin and a dog in the neighbourhood who remembers me, runs joyfully to scrabble at my shins. there are dreams in which i speak german incorrectly and days on which everything feels overdetermined, and the way my gmail glitches, sometimes, and shows me email from a decade ago: "someone replied to your livejournal post!" there are six knitting needles on my desk, held upright in a coca-cola glass i got from mcdonald’s. there’s the crossword every day even if i don’t do it, there’s a spider living in some kind of crevice on my outer windowframe. there are the shapes the sunlight makes on my walls, and there's the woman practicing her scales, i can hear her when i am in the bathroom, her voice wavers, falls away from the notes, breaks off, catches on a laugh, and then someone—maybe it's her—presses the piano keys, and she starts over.

love,
t
