THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13

Sometimes people put notes in my locker’s grille

Sometimes one word, sometimes several,

never more than a sentence.

One at the end of last year said

sex isn’t a hobby

and I had so many questions, the first

of which was

is putting weird notes in people’s locker a hobby?

But that’s the voice in my head

that says I’m too mature

to let these things bother me.

That voice is a little

overconfident.

Still, I had to laugh

when I looked up hobby

in the dictionary app

on my phone:

hobby: (n) an activity done regularly in one’s leisure time for pleasure.
