we left the city to middle of nowhere america
because every now and then
it's necessary to pause from the noise in our daily lives
grand central -to- middle of nowhere america -to- grand central
it was so quiet and peaceful
that returning to the rush of the city
was a shock
we listened to some jazz, some emily king, some john mayer
cooked
sat out by the lake
took a walk
laughed way too much
and really
it was perfect
. . .
