...and the question is, was i more alive
than i am now?
i happily have to disagree;
i laugh more often now, i cry more often now,
i am more me.

"The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun.
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good."
I want to meet you. Every unforgettable one of you.
Buttonwood, the baby manatee.
