  1. oh my. what a word match. from now on, barbed wire will be straps. deep in my heart, i look eagerly for what you find and present in place of clouds. i hope i didnt wake you when i said “oh my” out loud at this machine.

  2. you even arranged for yusef to slide joyce in there for his birthday! these nights when you say “i dont think i have anything.” i’m still shaking my head. and from now on, mesquite posts will be masts.
