#antidotes

in the last nine days, i've gone swimming in two different pools, a creek, a river, a lake, and a waterfall

i brought a dozen new socks home and they are all soft and fresh with refreshingly optimistic outlooks on life

i'm craving rice and avocados and cold beer in a frosty glass that yesterday put in the freezer today

i'm remembering drawing lines on maps with fat markers

i'm thinking about a story full of raucous waiting, restlessly unwinding between the country doctor and autofac, where i might like to go

i know what happens next, i really do, but i still wish somebody would give me a little hint
