How much do we love this poetic review of LATE TODAY?! Thank you for your beautiful words, @priscillag.bsky.social. 😻
Marvelous drawings of a traffic jam
and that rain-heavy sky
and so many looking away,
as a kitten crosses traffic.
But someone...
_screeech!_
A meditation
a provocation
a call to be late...
just in time.
I kept thinking,
"We're all this kitten."
