Have you ever wondered why a person might wrap her body around with so many stories and excuses and mythologies, when all the fears and secrets she has are perfectly ordinary, perfectly visible anyway?

Your window faced mine that summer, and every night we passed each other notes across the narrow alley. We were four stories above what used to be a canal.

See Like You
