hydrogen and humiliation

on tuesday i asked the people in my vicinity of cubeland: "when was the last time somebody saw the sun?"

someone said something about it being sunny the day before (which i missed) but i said "no when was the last time you SAW THE SUN?"

no one had an answer.

then the next morning i saw it on the drive in, coming up over the cascades. that was it. i've begun to keep track. i've seen it twice so far this year.

people wear weathering a winter here like a badge of courage. i'm slowly starting to get it.
