y0h_pny_taradreams=Tara's Dreams of a Star

y0h_pny_pasadenanewyork_postcard=My friend Tara told me about her vacations growing up; the way that the sea-salt spray would mess up her beach at the hair, the way the concrete bristles of the city roads would scrape her knees, till her jeans would fray and tear. From Pasadena to New York she felt alien and also at home, because her first home was no longer there.
y0h_pny_taradreams_postcard=My friend Tara doesn't sleep well at night; and she's not sure if its an ailment or just preference. She pictures herself floating like a star, stretched far apart, her hands and feet lightyears afar. She swims till dawn in the cosmic ocean, the stellar sea, la mar estelar.
