We are a thousand miles away from each other
in reality & otherwise but
WHO
REALLY
GIVES
A SHIT?
We are teachers
& I need to learn things.
Here's what I'll say: you showed me a shade of light that I had never been exposed to ever before.
We should call it
Guadeloupe's brilliance in a strangers reality.
Right in front of me.
I have smoked too many cigarettes
and fell in love with too many strangers
and have slept too easily for any of this to be real.
My bottom line says that I'll tell this story to anyone who ever asks to hear one.
You will pass through my lips.
