if you're reading this

i have only one request:

if tomorrow you

wish to go for a

drive on I-80, i ask,

please refrain

for i may just go

insane. for i may have to

drive part of the way

from new york, new york

on to cleveland, ohio

my hands white-knuckled.

i am going on a

trip. a nice craigslist rideshare.

i will drive a bit.

you know, my sewing

teacher always said, if you

can sew, you can drive;

and if you can drive,

you can sew. well, i know i

can still sew. but drive?

i don't know.
