My 77 year old mother & her 73 year old sister are going to see Patti Smith tonight, which, yes I'm jealous, but also so excited for them; they've both been fans since Horses first came out, &... now I'm coming to terms with my mom & my aunt having been Patti Smith fans since before I was alive...😬

Copter / sounds circle the city, buzzards soaring / around the wildebeest, faltering
"wormholes in the wood weaving wandering
ways through the rain.
a white shopping bag drifts through an azure
so pure it might be water, an aeronautic
cnidarian like my boyfriend’s dad believes"
