Bread, Fire, and the Things We Overlook

Date: 3/18/2026

I'm outside on a sunny day; and, I'm walking on the grass to meet a former black classmate of mine who we would call Buck. He seems to be barbecuing. There is a wooden table with wooden benches on both sides like you would see at the park next to the black barbecue pit that Buck is using. I sit down at the table talking to Buck. I am also distracted by all the dog poop in the grass near the barbecue pit. Buck fixes his food and eats not bothered by the poop at all.
