you look like
a bob haircut
a beard
gray sweatpants
no eyeliner today
the book you lend to me
the nod
the knowing smile
the unprompted hug
long waves going short
a plastic crate
a handshake
stopping to talk outside the library
saying that you noticed
a knit hat
a phone call
a heart
winter break was kind of isolating
last semester was kind of isolating
I am trying to invite people in instead of pushing them out

the instinct is to refuse to invite friends over until you have cleared all the clutter and organized all the cabinets and cleaned every surface, but it's much better to be like 'it is a mess, and I am ashamed, but please come over anyway'

this is really nice, though i'm sorry things are isolating. you are more than welcome to be less isolated over in my apartment, though maybe it would be easier for me to get to you.
