affecta

I love the west coast.
It feels like home.
The air is beautifully sharp
and the tap water is delicious.
Too bad I actually live in the east.
I don't think I will for much longer.
There's a history in the west.

Sherman Alexie autographed a book for me.
Kim Addonizio's new book sits on my nighstand, next to Natsuo Kirino's.
I never thought I'd be at a place in my life where these amazing artists, these storytellers' words are pushed to the side because I've no time to read them. I suppose that's what vacations are for.
