100 Words: It had to happen

May 10, 2020 by Joshua Corey

It had to happen sooner or later—a day like any other that carried me into its eddies and set me spinning, unfolding hour by hour into a dream of panic or a sleepless reverie. And so here are words for yesterday. What I’ll remember: sketching a bad postcard Yosemite; my daughter’s new bangs; the curtains of quarantine drawn closer and tighter. It was sunny, I recall, and cool. We rode our bicycles past an outdoor concert setting up, the crowd or anti-crowd in little clusters ranging up and down the street, on stoops and lawns. Music, going to be played.
