And what do you do when the world’s your oyster? If only it were as light and as pretty as the pearl, I’d hold it up to the sun and praise its ethereal form. Or if it would open as easy as a picture book, I'd read every word and know just what to do. Instead, I stand on its dirt and wonder how I could ever build a castle out of it.
