1-3 p.m.
Mahler's Song of the Earth turns into FM dead air, the road is deserted in both directions, cicadas hit the mute button, the printer runs out of breath, the espresso machine drowns behind its counter.  Suddenly joy runs through my chest like filling from a cracked Easter Egg.  Maybe somebody decided she wants to see me again.  Or a low pressure front in Ontario has shifted half a mile, which means it won't rain here in three days.  Ten billion individual organisms can be found in one grain of forest soil.  I have no idea of what's going on.
