my marc, Imperfection, lack of certainty, bad hair, hidden lust, large print books for old folks, bike riding on summer nights in small towns with no helmet, vegetables, geriatric animals, people who do what they want, magic tricks, surprising others, the occasional garage sale, learning to do man tasks like changing oil, hot bread, cold entrees, movie nights, clean bathrooms, new looks, sprinting for 15 seconds, vintage bathing suits, silent clocks, ambidexterity, the concept of catch and release, watching people breathe, getting fitted by a seamstress, walking tall, the color red, first kisses/last kisses, starting fresh.
People with machines for making pills to replace food and sleep and all of the other weaknesses and necessities that rule my life and rob my time and give back so very little.
