Bed | Sep 26 2005

I can’t tell if my bed smells. It might. Earlier today I walked in and noticed how stale it smells in here. I was sick for five days and so the room smells like a place where someone was sick.

Soon after walking in, I stopped smelling anything. It’s only when you first encounter something that you are able to experience it. When I read over something I’m writing, something I haven’t looked at in a while, I see it clearly and know exactly what works. But then if I read it through a second time, I have no idea, I’ve lost all perspective.
