"ах, как опаздываю я - почти что на день целый!"

i am rather proud of this photograph, which i took on the tram a couple of days ago.   i had to be discreet about it, which is difficult when you are sitting across from the person, but he looked at me at just the right moment.  

the first of july gives me a sense of closure before i snap back.  this is the part where i begin to grow, taller, taller, until i can hold everyone and everything in my hands.  "you're nothing but a pack of cards!" i find it difficult to believe that five months just swam past, taking me along with them.   soon it will all have been just a yellow dream.
