our friend late for work turned back for mister. i don't know what kind of work she does but i know seeing mister makes her happy on the way.

 and mister, and me, too.

 i was thinking this morning of the toxic world we live in, that we have so little say in, wondering if it's imperative that we are in this process of the destruction of the natural world, and i was thinking how it's academic, or what we can only sigh and call inevitable, that even before this massive arsenal of wealth and weaponry, people were killing.  
yet we find something good for us, and we breathe deep, and draw it in, everyday.
