never before has my life felt so incremental.
san francisco is swathed in artwork of all kinds
and yet i am constantly pushing back the hipster curtain.

it's an odd sensation
when you realize all that you value
and most skills that you've developed
are beyond categorization--
can't be fit into excel worksheets
and company timesheets

that what actually matters to you
and that core inside that you hope is valuable
is something you must protect
with a ferocity you didn't realize was necessary

today, in the elevator:
peyton (perky new housing coordinator from mississippi)
asked my age (something that gets somehow more embarrassing every year)
and when i responded,
she smirked, said, "oh, you baby"

and i said,
"no, i'm at least adolescent."
