twenty.nine.

[tai took this. it makes me think of george bailey.]
George
: You know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are?

Billy
: Uh-huh. Breakfast is served; lunch is served, dinner...

George
: No, no, no, no! Anchor chains, plane motors, and train whistles.

i like that movie.

oh.
i'd like to go on a train ride.
we'd go down to the city
when it's warmer.
it'd be you and i.
[you'd have to come
i'm not allowed to go alone.]
on the train we'd talk.
or maybe not.
we could listen to music
and grin at each other for our favorite songs.
i'd make fun of the way you can't sit still for too long.
on our walk we'd talk.
we'd walk all the way to the water.
it's still chilly
so i'll put my sweatshirt on
and wear the hood.
we'll discuss the possibility of getting a boat
and rowing to the other side of the lake.
[but really, we're all talk]
we'll roll up our jeans
and dip our feet in the water
but then kind of regret it, because it's coooold.
you'll make fun of my toes
but i won't mind
because i know you don't mind.
then we'll walk again.
discuss somewhere to eat.
window shop.
hit up some music shops.
stop and listen to the saxophone player.
hit up a resale shop.
the lights start coming on
and we notice it's getting dark.
we head back to the train station.
you get arby's
but i get taco bell.
we'll take the train home.
discuss coming back down at 4 in the morning
to watch the sun rise in the city.
[but really, we're all talk]

Tina,
Mary and I loved reading through your tea and whimsy. You made us laugh after a long difficult day.
Thank you.
