Superstition is.

About Me

About Me:

I pile rusty things up. I prefer the broken. I write in little books and never read them again. Glue is the bee's knees. Adhesives in general, staples, and hand stitchery all are Love. If it's sharp, it probably is or was once my friend. I like real mail. I wonder, a lot.
