Jet LagWe've barely left the ground when you ask what brought me here "Until now, I'd only read about poverty in books," and you ask what I've taken away.Jet Lag
"The air from the mire that plagued my nose where fires lit worn and narrow paths, bare dark bodies collapsed through the homes as sickly cries struggled to harmonize;
to find them all, I just follow the flies.

Life And TimesThis writer writes until he has nothing left since it’s all been done before writing down the things he can’t say tearing himself away, feeling dizzy, and listening to the rainLife And Times
