Falling Asleep With a Kleenex in Your Nose
04/03/2012
Once upon a time I was a poet. I listened to music until I cried and read poems until I cried and sat at the edge of any body of water I could find and cried. Then a few things happened: 1. I went to a writing conference in Prague and some girl said that…
