Jake Says (Almost Perfect People)
Coming upon Tucker making rock soup in the coffee maker, Jacob said to him, "Wanna know how almost perfect people do that?"
CONTEXT
January 22, 1997
Chicago
At 7 am the thermometer on the back porch read: 47 degrees. Yesterday's rain had melted all the snow, the air was damp and soft, the morning luminous. I thought I was going to have a good day.
People have been crawling out of the woodwork all day. Asking for things. But I'm all out. Clean empty.
Albemarle, NC
Please let me find the doorway and step through it.
Thank you for the great unwinding.
