degrassé
adj. entranced and unsettled by the vastness of the
universe, experienced in a jolt of recognition that the night sky is not
just a wallpaper but a deeply foreign ocean whose currents are steadily
carrying off all other castaways, who share our predicament but are
already well out of earshot—worlds and stars who would’ve been lost
entirely except for the scrap of light they were able to fling out into
the dark, a message in a bottle that’s only just now washing up in the
Earth’s atmosphere, an invitation to a party that already ended a
million years ago.
waldosia
n. [Brit. wallesia] a condition
characterized by scanning faces in a crowd looking for a specific person
who would have no reason to be there, which is your brain’s way of
checking to see whether they’re still in your life, subconsciously
patting its emotional pockets before it leaves for the day.
