Dear April, I appreciate the neat little script
& double-spaced lines of the two paragraphs you
sent. The train of thought just flowed. But your
words seem to imply "instant" not "forever".
Still, vagueness can be so personal! Anyway,
I apologize for being too busy swallowing to
recognize your chin scrapping against my
red shoes. But remember, I had no way of
seeing from point A, my own little world
where people still travel by oxcart,
to point B, where everyone flushes
one big tiolet. Next time, if you
allow me one, I'll remember to
bring several rolls of paper.
And that's a promise.
