a mirror selfie of myself in the campus restroom. i’m wearing my usual green beanie, aviator prescription glasses, black surgical mask, dark green “reach your limit” jacket with the blue inner collar, a dark green crew neck sweater, and my chrome barrage backpack. notably, I’m wearing a collar with the pattern of the flag of chicago. It’s roughly 3/4 in wide, and wraps around my neck snugly. It has three stripes of equal width: two light blue stripes around the edges, and one white stripe in the middle. There’s six-pointed stars across the center white stripe, around the collar. They look like this. ✶. The walls are tiled grey and the fluorescent lights illuminate me.

yesterday, i ran into my professor at the elevator and had to explain that i was celebrating the 189th birthday of the city of chicago
