Love Letter, Boats


If I was there or you were here I would say "let's build a fort" and then we would build one and lay beneath it and color with crayons and make paper boats and hats and maybe read Stuart Little because it is a rainy day sort of book. And then we would say "let's roast a chicken," but it would be too wet to go outside so instead we would make grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. But later we would go for a walk in the rain after all and maybe float small boats down curb streams.

And I would be happy to see you and you would be happy to see me.
