Bread

Right when I was picked up from school, there was this discussion I didn't get to analyze because I was sorta napping, sorta not. All I heard was yelling

I had three pounds of this really good bread in the car. I was eating tiny pieces of bread because I was hungry

The discussion stopped when we got home. I was still in the car while everyone was outside. As I went to take another piece of bread, a cockroach crawled out the bread bag and just kept on walking.

I still ate the piece


but anyway, cockroaches to me represent the tiny problems that are part of something much bigger.

I'm not saying i only see them after a discussion, because that's not true. But I'm just saying that I don't remember a discussion that didn't involve me seeing a cockroach at some point

whenever I see one, I just do what I always do: ignore it.

if I kill it, there will be more anyway

unless we resolve the problem...

we fumigate, i mean.
