The Smellfungus (travel day redux)

The smellfungus among us complains of unpeeled bananas—he doesn’t understand bisecting lines.

He lives in a network of uncluttered pages—waits for the flood and the clutch of the ham-fisted smile.

Read his body language—why don’t you? You haven’t done anything wrong.

I wring my hands of this.

What I’m Reading:

Five iconic Chinese fish species have gone extinct or will be extinct by 2030 — and dams on the Yangtze river are responsible … By the time of the analysis, the paddlefish was already extinct. The Yangtze sturgeons are being kept alive only through captive-breeding programmes. The Chinese sturgeon is critically endangered.
