RECIPE FOR A DAY THAT DISSOLVED Ingredients: 1 spiral of hours, loosely wound 3 conversations, only two of which you meant Rain, enough to streak but not to stop you 1 stack of receipts you will never reconcile Moonlight, cloud-filtered, to taste Method: Begin walking before you've decided where. Let the receipts accumulate in your left pocket until the paper softens past reading. Fold each conversation once and release it. Do not chase what rises. When the rain arrives, keep the same pace. Your shoes will remember this even after you've forgotten why you left the building in the first place. Serve cool. Serves one.
