academic deluge and i want vernacular architecture i just want to curl up on my couch and i want to go home and not have a stranger standing there and i want a chance to get to know this guy i love and i want some degree of privacy from someone whose secret i respected and i want to go to that poetry night and i like praying. it's easy. and that doesn't mean i think everyone should pray the way i pray and that doesn't mean i've turned into a fundamentalist (thanks very much for the vote of confidence) and i want a back rub and i want the beach and i want the stars and the full moon and the mountains and the desert |
