When The Music Is Over, She Keeps

It Was A Kiss Small In Its Ministrations But Epic In Its Feeling.

I'll Try To Communicate, Taylor Said. She Spoke Slowly And Deliberately. Hello! We Need Help. Is Your Village Close? My Village Is Denver. And I Think It's A Long Way From Here. I'm Nicole Ade. Miss Colorado. We Have A Colorado Where We're From Too! Tiara Said. She Swiveled Her Hips, Spread Her Arms Wide, Then Brought Her Hands Together Prayer-style And Bowed. Kipa Aloha. Nicole Stared. I Speak English. I'm American. Also, Did You Learn Those Moves From Barbie's Hawaiian Vacation Dvd? Ohmigosh, Yes! Do Your People Have That, Too?

There's No Such Thing As Nothing. In Every Nothing, There's A Something. In Fact, There Could Be Everything!

They See Her Differently Now, As Somebody. And Isn't That What Everyone Wants? To Be Seen?

All The Small, Simple, Conscious Acts Of Living A Sudden Defense Against The Dying We Do Every Day.
