Love this. So many wonderfully witty parts; my favorite: “My mother set me up with Brandy//and I should have known that he’d be the type/to own small dogs.”
Very good writing! Thank you:)
Oh, Whale Sound, thank you for this lovely reading.
Thanks, Dave and Madeline, for listening. Thanks, Christina, for letting me read your lovely poem!
