Tuesday 17th August

An awful summer wends its way down the bowl, like a sluggish eel fighting the tide with a half-hearted swish of its disgusting tail. I stood this day at the shore, where I have of late peered stoically through fog, mist, drizzle, cloudy low-light, gnats, tropical depressions, bone-biting cold, hurricanes, etc., out to the horizon, trying to remember what sunset used to look like. For instance, why, if this is a real world and not a construct of the Matrix, aren't the waves full of earrings and posts and wedding rings? Why do people think that 'tude glasses automatically change them into Tina Fey? I pulled a deer tick off my belly this morning, crushed it betwixt fingernail and tile and gazed in a stupor as my blood dripped from it down the shower wall. A future chockablock with spiroketes, melted bone joints and dementia danced in my head. Mr. Rogers has officially left the neighborhood.
