Remember: you are dust, and to dust you shall return

Danez Smith, from "acknowledgements," published in Poetry (2018)

dean should have dug himself out of that grave butt naked. no no, not because sam buried him without clothes, but cas just wasn't a big fan of the plain-shirt-flannel-jeans combo messing up his greatest masterpiece. *cas voice* he had to crawl out all by himself tho, uriel, it's about the symbolism.

At the Spontaneous Office Lunch Party Today

Judge: I was appointed to the bench in 2001! The millennium class of appointees.

Me: *quietly to group of coworkers I’m standing with* Geez, I was just graduating high school then.

Coworker: *turns head to me, expression somewhat incredulous* I was in the fifth grade…

Me: *soul leaves my body* Don’t…say that…

sometimes it’s late at night and you’re cleaning your room and you come across a few old black and white photos of a young girl and you stare at them for a long minute wondering how on earth they got lost in an old Kroger shopping bag with an unopened pack of cigarettes and a receipt dated 2017.

and you look at the girl in the pictures sat on the floor of someone’s home you don’t recognize, smiling and playing with a set of keys and a tiny part of you feels like it recognizes her but you aren’t sure.

and you flip the pictures over hoping to find some sort of annotation that would give you context and all you find is the year 1964 stamped in tiny font along the edge.

and you flip them back over and time stands still as you realize that the recognition you feel is because she looks so much like you once did and next thing you know your hands are sweating and shaking and you have to sit on the floor because you’re crying so hard because it hits you all at once that you’re looking at your mother.

Me: *stares intensely at Thrift Books*

Thrift Books: "...."

Me: *Strangles thriftbooks for trying to pull a fast one on me*
