Have you ever known someone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
who performs a victory jig<\/p>\n\n\n\n
after discovering a perfect sand dollar at low tide?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She once flew 3000 miles with LSD stashed in her ass<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to cook me a special psychedelic lasagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She once made me eleven mix tapes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and titled them The Fuck Truck Series<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Polaroids included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She once cleared the house of my dead husky’s things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She once collaged a birthday card for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She once translated rain for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We once drove over a magisterial bridge on the Oregon Coast<\/p>\n\n\n\n singing Eddie Money’s \u201cTwo Tickets to Paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She sauntered into my life<\/p>\n\n\n\n wearing<\/p>\n\n\n\n a green negligee,<\/p>\n\n\n\n a purple choker,<\/p>\n\n\n\n and struck the rock<\/p>\n\n\n\n with her staff of mystery,<\/p>\n\n\n\n whereby the water<\/p>\n\n\n\n of my creative mind<\/p>\n\n\n\n burst forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I betrayed her,<\/p>\n\n\n\n for a frivolous, dangerous ass<\/p>\n\n\n\n I never touched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve stopped eating lasagna<\/p>\n\n\n\n and never listen to the mix tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every time I discover a perfect sand dollar,<\/p>\n\n\n\n I pick it up,<\/p>\n\n\n\n admire,<\/p>\n\n\n\n and leave it behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever known someone who performs a victory jig after discovering a perfect sand dollar at low tide?
