Which leads to a few questions & speculations, addressed here: http://jenapincott.com/do-you-carry-the-dna-of-your-former-lovers/

In a sense, though, if you've every done LSD or mushrooms, this should come as no surprise. We are all - at every scale and distance, inextricably intertwined, and our every interaction and idle thought shapes both ourselves and others. But if you haven't had that trip, well, consider this a little more proof to add to the pile...

Canada Post (6)

The last 2 parcels arrived today. October 7th. As an FYI, these were ordered on July 17th. This is a total of 82 days. Almost 3 months. Overall, 1 parcel out of 7 arrived on time, 1 2 weeks late, the rest in the order of months late. Seriously people, Given that it came from China, approximately 4,000 miles from here, you could have walked it quicker (50 miles a day and it woulda been here Monday). And there's been no response on my ticket...

Evaluate your own performance. If I sign a lease I'll consider ordering more stuff online...

Elusive

I always knew where to find you,
had your number and your address,
but didn't. I thought it best 
to take certainty and roll it into chance,
the die was cast.
Eyes turned away to scan the cafe, 
looking for the Coincidence, the Symmetry, 
Call it Kismet or Fate or Destiny
that would bring you back.
At each concert and play
and movie and restaurant you may have been; but weren't.
I've seen you but once, and we didn't connect.

Searching now in spaces you'd never expect
Dry coulees, and on mountains, by creeks and I'll check 
every place - 

I still know where to find you, 
but won't be that intrusive,
Still, I never expected you would be so Elusive...
