Visiting portland, where i used to live

bits of sentiment...

visiting my brother, visiting an old flame (who is a twin)

standing in the shower, listening to a delightful poem

wherein the author imagines beautiful women standing in their showers, & simply touched the way that poetry so directly can.

even caught a tear with my towel

i'd read the new yorker piece without much judgement or reflection, I have no problem with buzz about good poetry,but i'd forgotten their names & now I will catch up on some reading.

thank you for a good conversation and a good poem!
