�� nothing story about a penny ��

10.IX.2002 :::: 17.48

i have bread rising in the giant red porcelain bowl in the kitchen, & it is a safe bet that you don't.

but today after i talked to greg about the fishtattoo & went to long's i was waiting for the #2, i was looking down at the sidewalk, i was picking up a face-up penny that i saw there. it was faded, abraded, & i had to hold it up very closely to see that it is from the year i was born.

i put it in my pocket. in my ears bj�rk sang "unspeakable surprises are bound to happen / but what they are: it's not up to you." a woman sitting next to me asked me a question & i made a big show of taking the headphones off so she could ask me again, the name of the book i was carrying. i told her. i told her it was pretty good, when she asked that too.
