  26. List

    Currently around

    • the blue mug
    • a coat that still has last week’s weather in it
    • three photographs I have not filed
    • a sentence I keep rewriting and then deleting
  27. Note

    Tuesday, later

    The light in this room changes its mind around four. I sat with it until it decided.

  28. Fragment

    Fragment

    I keep meaning to write the long thing. In the meantime I write the short thing, and the short thing turns out to be the thing.

  29. Note

    On keeping things

    This site is a drawer. I put pictures in it, and sentences, and the odd scrap. I do not label the drawer very well.

    Something to read slowly

    A book that does not mind being opened in the middle. Public domain, so it will still be there.

  31. Note

    Record of a walk

    Left after breakfast. Came back with nothing in my pockets except a receipt I did not need. The point was the walking.

  32. Fragment

    Unfiled

    A year that started without a plan, which I am treating as the plan.
