Right now: A cat sits at the back of my chair

A neighbor's car starts

My daughter naps in her carseat on the couch

My throat is dry

A thread hangs from a cushion onto the floor

The heat vent buzzes

A great grandmother's picture curls at the edges

Dust falls from a ficus tree

Intestines process today's breakfast

The residue of sleep builds up in the corner of my left eye

A cabinet door is slammed shut

A toe is stubbed on the edge of a table

An email is received and ignored

A gigantic solar tornado, five times the size of the earth spins and spins and spins
