Vernal Equinox

The fact that I can't fly is increasingly troubling to me, as is a crushing realization that I'll never see the giant ground sloths, mastodons, sabre toothed cats, wild horses and camels, giant predatory birds and other mega-mammals that lived in North America during the Pleistocene. I'm not even kidding.
I'm lying on a bed with clothes and other accoutrements strewn dans le floor with a nasal drip and I'm listening to Illinois and it sounds awesome and is awesome.
I've never been more disturbed than by John Wayne Gacy, jr.
I've attended two concerts so far, and I plan to attend at least two more over the course of this summer vacation. My cousin got married. I still haven't made a calendar of what is happening when this summer.
This would be the night to drive to a street enveloped with how black and empty lightless air is and kind of sit in the car for too long and then cautiously get out of the car and lie in the middle of the warm pavement and look and realize that the rusted-orange streetlights are an impediment to true appreciation of this, the longest day and the shortest night. It's a day when I once saw a ray flipping itself in some canal in Foster City. Also a turtle, I think.
I've made a lot of mistakes. I don't mind.
