pearls before swine, and commuters in pantyhose and sneakers

for a reason i cant articulate and dont understand, this article brought tears to my eyes. which was really awkward because i am at work, and someone stopped by the desk to give me their dirty laundry (for the cleaning service that picks up at the apartment building), and i had to look up and blink away the unshed tears.

yes, ive always been too sensitive, and yes, i was often made fun of as a child.
