chat
epitome of incomprehensibility I was trying to figure out why there was an article in my French Quora digest asking if a chat can recognize an owner by smell.

Then I realized: French. It means cat. Pronounced like "sha."

But who is the owner of a chat? Only its writers, or any potential readers as well? Is "owns" the wrong word?

raze the white box that was our meeting place for two years has been left unloved long enough to grow moss.

when the words i leaned on for so long first stopped showing up last fall, it felt like a death. i'd forgotten what it was to lack that kind of connection. now it feels like all those notes were folded by someone else's fingers and passed in the middle of a life that wasn't my own.

time is such a strange thing to be leveled by.
