To me.

Yesterday, I celebrated my birthday in a wonderland with a wonderful friend. A West Texas mirage made real in the details: the art film, immaculate and tragic; the flawless bookstore with tabletop stacks; the tire-size tumbleweed waiting on our doorstep; my desert run along the railroad tracks; sparkly messages sent from afar; the DayGlo sunset that wouldn’t give up; eavesdropping on a pirate cowboy over dinner; braided conversation weaving future, present, past; drifting off to a wall-projected movie; a Nine Stories bedtime story. Happy day.
