WHAT I DID Monday, July 29 It was a hot dog and white claw and blue hour over the marshes on the Amtrak last night. I took inventory of things when I arrived by night. The road was dark and it is August. My wrists were swollen from the heat and the city and there were lights around the bend and then only the sound of pebbles and tires and Davey-the-dog at the door and; it’s too late in the season for spring peepers. I haven’t been home in August in a few summers. It’s usually somewhere further down the coast this time of year. There was a pull towards this place sometime around noon on Wednesday. A pull towards cornfields specifically, and the way suburban heat would hit me heavy and hard when I would come back from the ocean as a child. In New York, I dreamt of a small house somewhere in someplace that felt like Topanga and wood floors and glass windows and a blue dress that looked like Leslie Van Houten’s in court, only the implications were less evil. I dreamt of palm trees and ferocious winds and sunrise over a cliff over volcanoes over the mountains over San Salvador. It was a mix of dreams. Some places where I have been before, and some places where I haven’t. I decided to play it safe. So, everything is exactly as I left it. There are farm fresh eggs and strawberries in the fridge. The empty April whisky bottle is still in the drawer where it was left after the eclipse. I am thinking of getting less into gnosticism and more into God. I have not been thinking very much lately at all. 2:09am - eating salted caramel gelato out of a plastic container in bed and vitamin water zero and cool smooth minty menthal zyn. My father stopped at the Cumberland Farms outside the train station so I could restock up on zyns. He is so nice. Everyone is so nice.
