some bud, somewhere
we tried the parkway
and passed good luck road
only to find we could have stayed home and had tea
cherry blossom bust
Is the ritual cluster fuck a crucial part of seeing the
cherry blossoms in DC? Doesn't it just make it so
authentically American to not be able to get there?
We got over it and we drove instead to Alexandria,
and we had a lovely dinner with Erin and things
were smooth, and I thought that I could witness
my own tree in two weeks, that they are blooming all over,
that I don't need the vista of the carefully sprayed national
treasures and the cold white monuments to take in the sex of spring.
