The field is still there. The bull will wait.
I’ve been thinking about attention lately. Not as a virtue, but as a scarce currency we keep spending on nothing. A five-minute wait for a train becomes a frantic scroll through someone’s vacation photos. A quiet evening becomes a debate with a stranger in a comment section that neither of us will remember tomorrow.
The portable bull is the weight we choose. That’s the part that stings.
And yet, we move. That’s the strange part. The bull — the big, heavy, stubborn thing — is supposed to stay in the field. But ours is portable. We drag it to coffee shops, into bed at midnight, onto hiking trails where the only sound should be wind and bad breathing.
