…With every new poem or story, I am learning to see. I am letting myself learn about factory towns, about sipping Carmenère in Washington Heights, about fear, abuse, love.
We have just enough left for two gin and tonics, and I’ll run out to get some limes. While I do, feel free to read this journal. Learn to see.
