Hello

I got this job at the YMCA, where I toss the washed workout towels into these huge dryers in the basement. They’re as big as caves. I swear, these dryers are caves. It’s my first job in a while because, let’s say, I’ve been off-grid. Let’s say a gap year turned into three; emphasis on the gap. My sponsor tells me it’s time to get to know the real world now. Fine. Hello, bikes to no place. Hello, waterless rivers. It’s me, is that you? Hello, sweat-less, faint-less runs. Do I look different? You do.
