...and my hands are too.
I drove by a field of horses and none of them were moving and I became slightly worried that I was dead. Later I drove past again. The horses were gone. There were motorcycles in the field. There were men in leather jackets with empty Bud Light bottles. I worried even more than I was dead. There was a clown in the middle of the field juggling yellow bowling pins while the bikers watched. I am dead. I am dead. I am dead, I said. I blinked. I kept driving. Diane Rehm was on NPR and she said you are dead, you are dead. I pulled into my driveway. I put my key in the lock and turned it. The door did not open. It was not my house. I am dead. I am dead, I said. I knocked on the door. I knocked on the door. I kept knocking.

YOU GO INTO A TUNNEL AND TAKE A NAP AND THEN DUMBLY WANDER OUT AGAIN A SHORT TIME LATER
NOT LONG AFTER YOU FORGET THE INCIDENT ENTIRELY
the following discussion occurred on Facebook:
Nathan Masserang:Theoretically, the longer the emoticon, the longer the beat, yet not stronger than an understood syllabic stress. *<:0) = weak anapest.Justin…
Day 7: No socks. The only thing I like about my feet. (Taken with instagram)
Bon Iver is sitting cross-legged on the floor, his brow furrowed. It seems he and the jigsaw puzzle have come to an impasse. We’d bought it secondhand, and the box had been lost, so we were left to guess what shape the pieces would take. We weren’t even sure they were all there. I suggest he take a break for a bit and clear his head. ‘I can’t,’ he says, ‘I need to make something whole today.’
