today i continue to exist in the universe

i was up with the dawn and went running, which is something i have not done in too long a time. boston is beautiful the past few days, coming all alive and languid instead of disappearing completely, at night, outside my window. i feel very transcendental and microcosmic and shit, like the inside of me is an echo of everything on the outside, everything hearkening and winking stars at each other through endless floating webs. for right now it's a nice way to feel.


(evidence here)

i climbed the hill to whole foods this afternoon but they didn't even have plantains, so i couldn't make tostones for the vegan food festival like i wanted to. what kind of organic grocery store doesn't have plantains? but i bought chanterelles, to cook tonight in olive oil, and an apology avocado.

in four days i will pack up all my things and move somewhere else. our new home is four steep flights of stair creak up, beside the gourmet cheese shop. almost one hundred years ago, in our neighborhood, a molasses tank burst and a tidal wave of molasses rushed from the distillery into the streets, killing 21 people. they say that on warm days your feet still stick to something dark and viscous that seeps up from between the cobblestones, and ghosts with crushed lungs hack up sugar crystals that scatter about your ankles.
