– Sylvia Plath, from her journals.
Like two ships passing in the night we met up in one evening, brightly lit and blaring fog horns to make sure each of us realized the other existed. There were, after all, safety concerns. We maintained radio contact from the time we’d first showed up on radar, long before visually confirming one another’s existence, and after meeting up we continued to talk, offering advice on what each had...
