It looks like somebody’s been practicing. These windows don’t actually open outside. They’re to the school gym. A mess of cassette tape on the floor. An architecturally interesting skylight window. More windows to the school gym. And my date and exploring buddy. A burned notebook. A cassette of new psalms. The other end of theContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part III”
