Submitted my resignation letter today.

Maybe they'll give me an opportunity to come back to the district. If they grant a two year leave of absence I'll be guaranteed a position. They won't tell me what position, but I'll have a job doing something.

Not very promising considering they can't seem to fill a couple janitor positions still.

I found a photo article on slate today that documents the failed rockets that are falling throughout the country.



Sway

since i find you will no longer love,
from bar to bar in terror i shall move
past forty-third and halsted, twenty-fourth
and roosevelt where fire-gutted cars,
their bones the bones of coyote and hyena
suffer the light from the wrestling arena
to fall all over them. and what they say
blends in the tarantellasmic sway
of all of us between the two of these:
harmony and divergence,
their sad story of harmony and divergence,
the story that begins
i did not know who she was
and ends i did not know who she was.
