lots of music lately; lungfish last night. muhal richard abrams just now, thanks to laurence. what i'd like to remember about today, though, is what happened on the morning commute. the train was coming into the station as i was getting close to the stairs. i didn't think i'd be able to make it, but i ran anyway. up the stairs, around the corner, through the turnstile, up more stairs to the platform just in time to see the doors closing. i connected w/ some blank stares from inside the car, knowing that these people would disappear forever in a second or two. it was cold and rainy and i didn't feel like waiting around for the next train. and then, miraculously, the doors opened again and i hopped on. thank you to the kind conductor who must have re-opened the doors.
