Ash Wednesday
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot.

In transit
Sitting on the green seat closest to the aisle, a push from the left comes from the fat man trying to get to the door. The person next to me is listening to his iPod. For all I know, we could be listening to the same thing. Space is limited and it is smelly, crowded, and hot. A man in a beat up coat stops next to me and stares blankly at my shoes. Weirdo. Meanwhile, a girl in a hat and matching...
