delicatessen
throws crumbs into the street —
they do not touch the ground

Even poems get sequels.


I have a lifelong fantasy of throwing an entire loaf of bread into a flock of pigeons. I’m sure it wouldn’t be good for them, but the pure image of a feathered feeding frenzy makes me giddy.

Music today is the piano bar classic Closing Time by Semisonic. After years of streaming music from Spotify I’m back to buying MP3s, and the first thing I picked up was Semi’s entire discography. Check out the Todd episode if you’re hungry for more.
