Daily dose of social lipstick. Done.
Breakfast protein smoothie. Done.
Resist thinking. Doing.

On the way to the toilet I turned on my smart switch.
I push on the side that sticks out most. It switches.
The rest of the time it stays out of my way.
Light switches here turn on when you push down.

The terrace upstairs is so windy it destroyed our plants.
The banana trees looked like a typhoon had just passed.
This is not a building. It’s a boat.

In Mexico City there is a wide avenue named after a revolution.
Today I heard a dissident being quoted by mainstream long after danger passed.
As we travel through time, we find statues where persons used to be.
Street names where points of inflection used to exist.
