Ten.One Thousand, Three Hundred & Thirty-Four

1. Quiet.

2. Something is blocking the light from the router. A mask.

3. “Up, up, the sun is up, so up with you.”

4. He wants to wear his blazer. So handsome.

5. I tell him that I’m coming for school drop-off so that I can take my library books back. He tells me to bring my camera so I can take a picture with the mustard.

6. How did I not know that there was a field full of mustard right by the library?

7. I sit outside in the sun and read Adrienne Rich until it’s time to take him to the eye doctor. The sun burns my eyelids. It feels so good.

8. If only there was time to make a pitstop at the ranch.

9. Big green hills and sheep and mustard and sunset.

10. Craving: ice cream with sprinkles, or a ham and cheese croissant from The Station, or champagne and a plate of cheese.
