I know what you mean, about getting lost in the moment (or at least trying to) when you ride a bike. The whoosh in your hair, out in nature, with those mountain views you speak of: There's nothing like it. Opening your poem with those particular questions effectively captured my interest, and I sensed a lot of subtext beneath the surface of this piece that kept me reading. I liked when you came back around to the theme of the bike with, "How do you fix the chain that broke apart?" Ending with the bike again really tied the whole thing together.

The shoes look so crisp and clean against the backdrop of the fallen leaves. You can easily tell yourself many stories about where this person is going.

What a spread! I've never added fresh flowers to my dinner plate, but then again I'm not a forager. Are they edible or just for decoration? The sunset and wildflower photos are gorgeous too!

This is so, so cool!  Is it an actual hole or the reflection off something?

Fun questions! 

  1. I'm taking "Medieval and Mughal India," and the prof is amazing!  The class covers material that is adjacent to what I study, but that I haven't been exposed to much. 
  2. That's hard, probably my senior thesis. Does that count? 
  3. I don't know what's being offered yet, but hopefully my department will have "Attic Prose," like they normally do winter quarter.   
  4. I'm a senior at university! 
  5. I'm lucky I'm no longer in high school :) 
  6. My school was crazy enough to let me teach Latin last quarter --- which I was totally unqualified for.

"pupils like sinking ships" the imagery in this is astonishing. I agree with with Anna. And it's a myth with an extraordinary about integrity because of how elusive it feels!

"A rich bread, baked in the desert centuries ago, flavored with milk and honey." this made me feel all warm inside.
