Day 26 and Day 27 NaPoWriMo

It'll all be over by May 17th, still have half a book for Lit, two more exams, three papers, and one film review. And if there is time the Diversity Club is having a Drag Social Saturday on campus! And, and, for that oh yes, today: goldfinch dining on dandelions in the lawn, so much gold.

A system of clone-age, original
to replica; the knowledge
that even god can’t do this.

get a calf to weaning.

Why does this mirror
take so long to grant curves?
