Why, in the middle of an average week, when nothing’s hanging for dear life onto the monkey bars of your mind, do you find yourself, without the addition of caffeine or other additives (besides beet juice early in the night), pacing the floors until five in the morning?Who’s to say.

But the bayou’s nice. There’s always fog. The dog’s at a friend’s and i don’t have to be at work for another five hours. Anyone wanna come over and take a walk? wanna skip stones in the bayou down the street, walk to the coffee shop and share an everything bagel with cream cheese? anyone up for watching the sunrise over the neighbor’s house, walking half a block to where our street crosses tentatively over interstate 45 and into downtown. Anyone want to paint things on one another’s bellies and flash to oncoming traffic words like panqueques or exhilirate?

This is how things go sometimes, sometimes as in lately (because i’m a buttery nothing — everything — for lawrence raab right now and feel like answering rhetorical questions):

Isn’t that how things are every day? People laugh and you don’t know why, though it could be you, some note they’ve scotch-taped to your back.

- Lawrence Raab.
