1. this beat up old document box
{with a brand-new lease in it}.
2. this dream apartment.
{per a certain six-year-old.}
3. these peaches.
{and peach fuzz.}
4. this clamp.
{and old bottle of superglue for a quick fix.}
5. this accidental timestamp.
{for remembering things by.}

a private and personal responsibility.

as [he] fiddles and faffs, rome continues to burn.
we have to enact social justice before conservation…can ever reach its full potential.

I was fortunate to graduate from St. Mary’s College of Maryland where, among many wonderful features, we were blessed with Lucille Clifton as our poet in residence.
You do have the best reading recommendations. Thank you for sharing.
It’s so good to know you found another apartment. It looks great in the IG peek. So exciting!
Hey Erin! Congrats on your new apartment! Will your kids be changing schools since you are in a new neighborhood? Also I’m curious if you will be sending the kids to physical school or opting for virtual learning? I don’t mean to pry….I’m just rather confused as to what to do with my own kids so I’m gathering as much advice as possible!
Thank you xx
Thanks so much! We won’t be changing schools! Everything in New York still very much up in the air re: in-person learning!
