My fingers felt heavy and wooden, and they moved
on the wrong keys. Instead of THE EL CERRITO
PLAZA VISITORS STUDY, I typed
THE EL CERRITO PIZZA VIOLATORS STUDY.

It's January in San Francisco.
Through the windows that run along the East side
of the big room where I work as a word processor
for a market research firm,
I can see that the sun is shining outside.
