“Just the other day, I was in my neighborhood Starbucks, waiting for the post office to open. I was enjoying a chocolatey cafe mocha when it occurred to me that to drink a mocha is to gulp down the entire history of the New World.

through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own”
