A deaf old man who doesn’t own a clock. A smoking couple with a baby monitor. This piece was lovely—I couldn’t tell whether to be sympathetic or sorry, self-conscious or awed. Rachel Chen on Sean Taylor’s “Sings Us Both to Sleep” (sPARKLE & bLINK 31) sparkle + blink 4.0 by Quiet Lightning

Sean Taylor on Great Failed Attempts and Grand Pianos on Frozen Lakes
How many times do you fall in love each day?
It isn’t about falling in love for me, it’s about listening. It’s about seeing other people in love. It is safe to say for every bus or train you board someone is madly in love. They may hide it, or go lips ear to ear the whole ride, but I think some of their energy is always there, spilling into the aisles. I have a 40-minute commute to work most days, about 20 on foot and 20 on the train, and in all honesty I’d love an answer but I’m pretty terrible at math.
