i sneezed and i got a crick in my neck. dogs eat like two times a day plus whatever they browse outside. cats eat like every one and a half hour. i have been falling off my reading. i think i got a head cold. my body's in shock it's snowing in april. i feel like a shrinking orchid. these urban flowers are tough though, come up through pavement. i guess i prompted the moderator to draft a letter to obama to ask if he would listen to people who lament his land grab in jackson park and the attendant urban removal. i'm sure it's all sluggish lagoon water under the condemned clarence darrow bridge, but it's alright, we'll still be here, whatever is taken, whatever is erected, we'll walk through it, or we'll walk around it.
