  • I have never seen him shy.When I was young, he would swift away The curtains deftly, without a word — Urging. Just before we would leave the hotel,He would pat down my coat,Summon a tissue to wipe an invisible stain.Always preoccupied, him and me.We spoke different languages,And I could barely stand to look him in…

  • Soft sunrays breached the curtains of Mrs. Aritzia. Specks of light on her powdery comforter, and when she opened her blue e- Woah, wait. No. She wakes up way too late for that. The sun was already out, and she woke up. She had her dog fetch her coffee. Dressed like a butler, the dog…

  • My dad used to take me to his office. He’d have his meetings, and I was in the room next door, drawing. There was a stack of printer paper ready for me, and I’m sure I’d use up 500 of them a day. You could say we were both working at the same time. Interestingly,…

There’s even research suggesting that middle-class people spend more money on luxury goods than wealthy people overall. It’s all about osmosis these…

  • We’ll skip definitions. It seems to me, at times, integration is the key modality all people should aspire to. Sometimes the heart is weak, and sometimes the mind. Balance is key? Okay, whoever said that – can you make spares and pass them out next time? I might be projecting, because I lean too far…

  • I have this one customer who keeps me sharp. I have the second one to test it out on. These two, black and white foxes, orbit me. And though my posture is steel, it softens around the two. People don’t like jokes – they either like the person who makes the joke, or maybe we’re…

  • “Why can’t I get it in a large?” He comes in this morning, reeling his colleagues in through words, and when he gets to the counter, he says good morning.  And the filming starts, the rest of the people waiting for coffees? Extras. The camera man behind me, I know my lines. But he’s the…
