My planner is broken. When I check my mail, I find no one. I peek out from behind the front door and wait for the bus so I can count the passers-by. As usual, a man is speaking on the phone with his mistress, they’re comforting each other, they cannot stay together as they wish. I get back inside my house, sit at my desk and watch myself reflected in the mute display of a switched-off computer. Today, I’m letting insects stroll all over me.
