and as the pre-autumn sunlight trickles through the half-drawn shades on this A-noon

you know, just now, after getting back from a meeting with some people trying to sell me phone book ad space (already sold, i just needed the goddamn specs, which they wouldn't give me over the fucking phone), something dawned on me. after walking out of the post office, some specks of dandruff on the shoulders of my black shirt (even though i shave my head?!?!?), pants droopy, coming to the slow realization that i'm a little bit attracted to the one postal worker who's probably in her mid 40s and is only there occasionally and is a little too orange-tan but has great hair and seems really to herslef, that i want a shirt that says 'the childless'.
