This is in Fahrenheit, folks, i.e., below freezing for the most part. I'm thrilled for a quick getaway back to Cornell, but, look at that, holy moly!! This now-California girl is not prepared.
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.
