the most magnificent mermaid

monday, tuesday and wednesday of this week i hung out with the most magnificent mermaid. i had no idea that my friend april was also a mermaid. her great grandma never told me, her friend davey never enlightened me, and certainly the dynamic sisters from beantown kept their mouths quiet.

but it was beautiful. as waves from europe and africa landed on the sweet seashores of long island, a mermaid evolved almost immediately, hours upon hours in her natural environment, the atlantic ocean... talking to it, laughing at it, coughing with it, singing with it, floating along its shores, running from it, trying to stop it, living with it...

love and health to all...
