just found a to-do list tucked inside a library book (not mine):
“install bathroom fixtures, margo’s collar, install towel bar in door, make lunches (+dinners), pay dentist bill, save receipt, iron shirts, deconstruct crate, buy (order) cat food, state taxes, put felt pads on furniture, buy 1 1/4’ wood screws, homework - admin rdg…” 
love it.

I may not be able to convince you of it, but I think the problematic of wantedness isn’t just tolerable; it’s beautiful. It’s brave. It’s complicated and fleeting and elaborate and human. -janet halley

and i am listening to the low moan
of the dial tone again.

remember and endure the hour,
there was never one like it, all are like it,
people and angels and cherubim,
black-winged, bright-eyed,
none was yours-
was ever yours.

I keep thinking, “When does it end? Where’s the day I’ll have started forgetting?” But I just go on. - merrily we roll along, “not a day goes by”
