The camellias,
with their perfect symmetry—
I almost missed them this equinox morning, as I rushed by.
Bouncing, they brushed my shoulder and beckoned me
to stay for just a moment,
a respite from this human rushing.

Americans will lose their shit if they can't afford fries.
I just learned that a significant amount of America’s frozen French fries are imported from Canada. Shit is about to get real.
