people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

And whitecaps on waves, warm blankets, cats and dogs, steam rising off streets after summer storms, ice cream, 1st kisses, sunsets/rises, dessert, champagne, sleeping late, swimming pools, garage bands, someone’s favorite song on the radio, softened butter, scary movies,snow,… all right here

You know when Wile E Coyote runs off a cliff and keeps going for a while, but hasn't looked down and fallen yet? That’s America right now.
