We should head out. Go and touch the funeral train. I have a feeling we're going to be talking it the rest of our lives. But for now, all we have to remember is that we are just a couple of boys who have a couple of hands and a need to run after almost anything.

This is why I love Lorine Niedecker:

*

You are my friend--
you bring me peaches
and the high bush cranberry
you carry

you water my worms
you patch my boot
with your mending kit
nothing in it
but my hand

*

So much seems to be happening I can't seem to catch my breath.
