I wish for...
A father who takes care of me instead of one I have to take care of

I try to focus outwards

I wrote this in February, 1991. Larry was my boyfriend at the time.
Sometimes I don't know who I

Larry. Like Friday at his apartment. I

My mother used to come to visit me every year. She’d stay in my apartment, sleep on the fold out couch in the living room. She’d take a walk to get coffee in the morning while I did my . . .

I love you, mother,
I do, I really do,

I’m not in the mood to read.
