Pandemic time. “I’m doing the wrong thing. I’m doing it wrong. And I’m way behind.” Yesterday and tomorrow. Engagement and graduation. My grandmother, the one-year-old. Flying cars—and back to fire. Geologic time scale. Why zebras don’t get ulcers. Simultaneity. The miracle—and trauma—of being born. The book of everything that ever will have happened. Do you need to be remembered? Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone utterly beyond. What’s left in the pot. Playing with my daughter. “When things feel big, go small.”
