Sometimes it happens. Sometimes something true spills onto the page. I may not notice it, curled there amidst a dozen scribbles or arranged in perfect Arial rows, but it’s there, waiting for me. These words wait a long time for me to come back to them. Many are still waiting.
Into the wild
by Johnny Fontaine
