At my age I should’ve figured out
Which drawer to put the good knives in … “

Damn.

Well, ouch.

I’ve been on a bluegrass/roots country kick lately. I was listening to an old Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit album I’d never heard before while taking my dog on the first proper walk he’d had in weeks.


I picked up pieces of trash on my way home, then detoured to throw them in my apartment’s giant dumpster. The moment my hand opened and released the trash into the dumpster, a jolt of panic slammed down my spine: “fuck. I don’t have my keys.”

In the moments while I stood there, dumbly trying to comprehend what I should do next, Isbell sang in my earbuds:

“Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae

This hasn’t been your day

Hasn’t been your day.”
