a bunch of us were in a park. i asked if we needed permission to lay down the strange shapes we'd made. the hat worn by the woman in charge tipped down over her face. she smiled. we all watched from the center as young people in pairs began to move the pieces around in the grass.

places matter. their rules, their scale, their design include or exclude
civil society, pedestrianism, equality, diversity (economic and
otherwise), understanding of where water comes from and garbage goes,
consumption or conservation. they map our lives.

a horse was tied to a tall tree just outside the revolving doors. a woman in a purple tank top rubbed his neck. a small crowd of people formed near them. i watched for a minute before unlocking my bike.

the kids were three years older now. we cut paper and passed the pieces around in a circle. we tried not to laugh. the girl with the pony-tail stared out the window. i walked from the front of the room to the back. i knew what i was doing.

i waited in line for a stall of my own. long curtains separated each section. i knew i shouldn't be here. i was pricked and fell asleep. curled up on the toilet in the house i grew up in, i woke up. my right hand held a boy in the shape of a small bird. his beak looked like two fingernails glued together. his matted feathers were hot pink.
