So weary

 






I'm so weary.


Maybe it's the strange half-light in the library at six o'clock. But I'm just standing here at the front desk of the library and I feel half asleep.

Luckily I can do this job in my sleep.

And, apparently, write a blog post.

What a beautiful blog post it is though. It is wreathed in stars. It's twilit. It is halfway to being a dream. Let us leave the front desk of the library and fly up into the atrium. What do we see? We see the top of men's heads. We see the funny way people walk when one looks at them from straight overhead. We see the puzzles from our puzzle collection all spread out on their display cube.

Oh, I think we're sinking.

Flap your arms.

That's better. 

Not too much. Don't hit your head on the white ceiling. 



How little everything seems. 

Where are these butterflies coming from? 

Why are there stars everywhere?



What? What! I'm awake!!! You want a library card? Sure, sure. I can get you a library card.



You're not here for a library card?




 

You're here for the blog post?


You're sure you don't want a library card?




Hmmm.



I'll see what I can do about a blog post then. Although I could swear I just wrote one.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
