My birthday
April 2nd was my birthday. I am now 22. I don’t really feel 22 and I don’t feel very grown either. My life has only gotten more confusing and difficult as I grow older and I sometimes wonder if that will persist till I’m middle aged or even my entire life. Either way, I think…

A poem about rutabagas…
