Elasticity
<<2003-09-29 - 10:13 a.m.>>

The clouds came overnight, and they look like they plan to stay awhile. When I slide my feet down to the window end of the bed, the sheets are slick with chill beneath them. It is fall in Portland, I think, and just about time.

I still haven't moved all the way into this room, and I think that's telling, and I don't know when I got to be as frank and outspoken as I seem to be these days, and I wonder if the girl I met last night looks at the picture she still has up on the online yearbook and wishes her cheeks still hollow in like that. The body becomes somehow less elastic as it expands, like each plane is unreinforced and unsure of itself. I don't know if it regains its surety as it contracts, but I might find out.
