Awkward Climb

 

"Must be January."

"Yep."

"That's when you work on and think about collages the most."

"Correct."

"Good times."

"Indeed."

I look out the window. Snow. Not Chicago level snow, but still snow. Colder than usual. Later than usual. If life is a collage, the picture is still forming.

It will be there even when we're not looking. Even when we're not there."
