Is that a flute? She asks, and we stare, together, for too long, at the sculpture. A slender wooden form stands, tight face carved into the top, and the long grey protrusion, the one in question, juts out from its middle, not quite a perfect cylinder. Strings fall from the metal, cutting negative space in a sharp diagonal.
Suddenly, the room is crowded, loud. Footsteps creak on the floor and echo and they come from every angle and my ears canāt take it.
It doesnāt look like a flute to me. She doesnāt know what sheās talking about, I think. And she doesnāt get it, I think. And why are you here. You donāt belong here, I think. You are an idiot. How uncreative, I think.
Whatās that one supposed to be? She asks.

all day long iāve had David Bowieās āModern Loveā stuck in my head. all day long since I woke up late and sweating and the song blasted in my ears on the way to work. or what i call work. the place i show up late each day and drink drip coffee and think too hard and donāt really get paid. today i got lost looking for the lunch room.
when i left work the streets were crowded and thoughts of a swinging car door smacking my bicycle into the next lane sending my neck underneath a wheel were impossible to shake as i called my mother on the telephone. thoughts can seep into your head and you might not catch where they came from.
i left my notebook open last night in a common frenzy and when i returned from work sweating my roommate was home to likely read it. i wonder if he did. heās a private man.
perhaps the song is stuck because iāve not listened to much else. i watched a film tonight with many songs and maybe a few too many but none of them were David Bowieās āModern Loveā and none of them stuck in my head.
