oh oh cheri

i didn't go to class because i didn't want to walk in the rain. today is one of those days where i woke up, lay in bed, moved to lay in the tub, got dressed, and re-dressed, and have been reading and stopping to wonder if today is one of those days where i am not greater than the sum of my parts, or if today is one of those days where maybe i am best being defined or explained by my belongings or what i am wearing - that i am just a green tweed hat and typewriter key earrings - that i am a messy car and cluttered apartment. for some reason, that seems calm and still, for i expect little and have little expected of me...a day that has been reduced to, or at least punctuated by tea stains and tobacco, literary theory and lost spectacles, an old sweater, and shoes falling to pieces.
