I feel my heart speeding on the highway of your hands.
Worldās endless, taxing demands,
they didnāt even matter anymore,
I saw them for what they were - a cruddy chore,
to be fair,
I paid my share.
But then, loveās sparkā¦
It was a lightning bullet opportunity train,
and I was a hobo full of hope.
Who says we have to be practical,
when love feels really strong and magical?
Will you ride this train with me over the edge of the Grand Canyon?
Will you meet me in London where all the people collaborate?
Can we kayak near Japanās beach shore?
Can we scuba dive near Australiaās ocean floor?

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. Thereās something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.
