“Heart resides
where crumbling churches give way to blossoming trees
empty storefronts to towering mansions
it doesn’t want just another heist movie
or an illusion of cleavage
it’s not accidental or meaningless
it wants to be known”

Americans shouldn't be drinking the green tea so unquestioningly.”
