The underwater Kodak moments from half a year ago in Cancun and half a semester ago in Puerto Vallarta have finally made their way to my eyes. What joy! In the age of digital cameras, we've lost that suspenseful moment when the film has been developed and the carefully taken photos reveal themselves one by one like little treasures being unwrapped.
I close my eyes and imagine the dark hills I would have to cross / to reach you. For I am in love with you / and this is what it is like or what it is like in words.
Carol Ann Duffy
When I grow up, I'd like to be a cream puff. A cream puff with apricots, or even a plain one. Lukewarm at the bakery. In the window.
