Carl eats the ocean.

December 8th, 2002, 12pm

It tastes of sand and salt and maybe a little dog drool.

Because my body is not a machine, because I cannot both run and engage in complex thought yet, reflection only happens in the cool down. As my breath relaxes and the heat dissipates (when I started running, no one mentioned that bodies could be so capable of burning- how did no one mention this?) I work through the difficult things, the knots I am too tired to avoid.

Today, there’s nothing to unravel, so I watch the fog - Karl - as he enjoys his brunch.
