Dear Emma,

Happy 100 :)

Did you see the white fox waiting for the train, I think it wants something to eat
He is drooling, smiling, and panting, searching for his next
Did you see the two lovers get on the wrong train, I think they’ll figure it out
He took a picture of her as they went over the bridge, he whispered, “look, it’s a miracle.”
Two girls press their hair against each other, laughing quietly, trying to listen to the same song
A million, billion, trillion butterflies flew over their heads. Did they hear them too?
Everyone is pairing off into twos, should we wear wigs and pretend we’re married?
I’ll buy two tickets to Croatia and you’ll pack a red suitcase with the 99 letters we wrote to each other. Can you read me a line from one of yours? I’d like to be there again

Let’s feed each other cigarettes and watch women fish. I’m counting the days until the moon is full again
Lets buy a fish from one of the women, she’ll ask for $20 cash.
We’ll take it home in our backpacks and fry it in the autumn night.
We already made rice in the morning, we can eat it with that.
My heart is sore and swollen from overflowing again and again.
I’ll lay on your chest and tap the rhythm of your heartbeat on your leg so you can listen too.
Then let’s drink 22 beers while I tell you something ridiculous in your ear.
My heart, ear, nose, and tongue are eating you again.
Let’s cut our hair and our nails after the sun goes down to let the fox enter our lives.
While he’s pretending he’s us, let’s run away. Let’s go to a place we’ve never gone
We’ll take our new old car, something beaten by the wall
You’ll play me a CD you found between a nook & cranny and hold my hand to drop me off.
I’ll put a secret note in your pocket.
It says something about you.

See you l8r, 
Noah
