Glendale
Don’t give me directions to your mother’s house in Glendale because I’ll say I got lost. Yesterday I watched a minor murmuration of birds fly from tree to tree and I know they feel the same way I do: even in your mother’s arms, Glendale is lacking. If your mother and I were to form a relationship and go in on a house together in Glendale, that would be one thing. She called me today and described the birds outside her window. She said she was glad there was something in the world that could give shape to the wind.
