Sunday Evening

At the University Library

The evening meets me with a call from Jasmine. Shuffling my cellphone to my good ear and my car into second, I turn onto Nedderman as she tells me of a cough, some pain medicine, and something about dizziness or nausea that I don’t quite recall. I cast my half-burned comma to the pavement and make a whole-hearted attempt to talk her out of panic.
