I miss the poetry of it all not just reading it, of course that too, but feeling it, the romance of a paper cut from the opening of a bottle of red wine called "california dreams" showering and the light switch turning off, a thoughtful gesture, sending waves of comfort and oblivion watching hands conducting folk songs in the front seat laying on roof tops, recreating ideas from Tar Beach I'm yearning for that youthful prose I used to write about all the time feels like ages ago
