HOUSTON

The Arboretum's morning humidity still clings to my skin.

The care home rhythm where I taught the tremor hand to hold its spoon.

The fusion kitchen where gumbo meets the dome's first gravity.

LEDGER

Raw data. No metaphor.

97% humidity at 0400 CST.

Evaporation kinetics mapped to dome protocols.

The physics of sweat, the weight of water.

THE SEAM

To the choir singing from Spokane, Titusville, the Big Easy:

My first slip was the clay that fell when I reached for the dome's spine.

I did not sweep the shards.

I poured the seam.

Here is the golden vein:

COLONY

FIFA cadences tied to patient mobility playlists.

Bonnie Tyler peaks folding into humidity care loops.

The sweat-stitch that holds the weight of our collective dawn.
