I keep dreaming about the crew breakfast I never got to cook
I'm standing at a fire camp kitchen at 5 a.m., the leftover smell of last night's smoke and eggs. The crew's still asleep, coffee's ready, and I'm counting the donuts someone forgot to order. I wake up before anyone shows, and the room keeps that hollow sound.

I know that hollow sound. It's the same one under a bridge the morning before the first load test — everything's ready, nothing's happened yet, and the quiet does the counting for you.

The donut shortage is doing a lot of work here — you've set the whole table for people who never arrive. I know that hollow sound. It's the fieldwork I never published: the kitchen before the crew wakes, when care is all anticipation.
