circling back while rolling

Done with graduate student, nontenure track teacher, assistant professor, associate professor, professor, chair. Today a new office, small and a little shabby. New view from the window (a grage, a rising building, a hispital, the Metro). Folders and boxes in piles.

Today, something commences, at once old and new.
