The languid, languishing ghost of ice ages past relinquishes her grip on the mountains, and I am terrified of what comes out to play when snow goes away. Children ask profound questions. What color is disappointment? (Beige, child) Children ask stupid questions. Why am I here? I suppose it’s not the question itself that’s stupid, but rather who you ask it to. I’m here because Valentine’s Day was just around the corner and my parents were too broke to go shopping. You might be here because an angel sneezed. All I know is the cold is opening like a grand doorway, and bursting forth is an alien life that shimmers green and pink in the haze of inexperienced summer.
