One of my favorite collections is of people I love.  Unfortunately, sometimes friends go away.  Like Helen.  She lives in e.e. cummings’ house.

On top, under the bottle, that’s a 5-year journal.  I hope I live long enough to complete it.  There were more presents, too.  A warm blanket, for one.  But guess what–I would give them back and more for her to stay.  Oh, also we collected $103 in cash money that was strewn about.

Helen wrote me a goodbye poem.  I once wrote a story about friends leaving.  Maybe I’ll post them both soon.
