The exotic collection of dumplings
recipes.

It’s
abrupt and absurd
the
way I try to quickly
introduce
myself to people
whom
I don’t know at the
moment
yet want to know
in
the future. Perhaps it’s
intoxicating
on some level
to
the stranger; often,
certainly,
it is an exit
interview. I don’t
want
to remain like
this:
almost gone.
The
tarred rooftops
work
like magnets
to my
exhausted
eyeballs,
soak
in
the warm
winter sun.
