"All this time, I’d thought that our story was just that: our story. But it turns out you had your own story, and I had mine. Our stories might have overlapped for a while -- long enough that they even looked like the same story. But they were different.”

"One trip to the wilderness convinced me that I was not the outdoors type. In fact, the mosquitoes, heat, and warm Kool-Aid were enough to make me call my mother and tell her I wanted to go home. My parents picked me up, and to this day I've never tried camping again."

"Your academic training is useless in the face of children. You will explain why we do not put blueberries in orifices other than our mouths. You will field impossible requests from tiny dictators and weave magic for tyrants with attention deficit. You will be dazed by toddlerian twists of logic and tripped up by twisty teen nihilism."

Places racing past me spitting halogen light
I wish that you would ask me if I’m feeling alright
The shadows you were casting nearly swallowed the night"
