preamble

so, i've started writing today's blog entry, but i already know i won't finish it before i go to bed. despite the timestamp on this post, it's midnight. for some reason, blogger has me in the wrong timezone, or hasn't yet leapt to daylight savings time.

anyway...

all day, i wondered what i'd write about. not much happened, inspiration didn't land in my lap, and i'd actually started working on an "i have no entry today" poem earlier just in case i had to use it. i feared i might. i've been out of the house since around 5pm, and knew i'd be getting back late with little time left and even less energy to write something.

but then... i had a curiously profound encounter on the subway on the way home.

it started out looking like it might be kind of scary, but suddenly morphed into something quite different. and, even as it was happening, i thought, "this is what i'm going to write about."

problem is, i haven't yet fully digested it all or wrapped my head around what i want to say about it, and i need to get some sleep.

so i'm going to finish tomorrow.

because i think this kind of story deserves more than just a quick pass.

(note: technically, in writing this notice, i *did* write something today. the plan goes on!)
