20 July 2007

miles in the sky

One little Friday.

Take 5 days of 48 hours each. Put them in a small cardboard box. Throw in a little writer's block and petty politics. And maybe a half-eaten sandwich. Then wrap tightly to half it's size.

Now pummel the package with a baseball bat till such time it resembles a pullover. Wear it.

I am not averse to work. But an illegitimate refusal to unlearn, accommodate and expand one's horizon makes me lose my otherwise perennial smile.

The week has been hostile. And a slight, yet anonymous, exchange has made all the difference.

I feel like jazz today.
