Millions of us track ourselves all the time. We step on a scale and record our weight. We balance a checkbook. We count calories.

(Familiar Quotes)

One night, I lay awake for hours, just terrified. When the dawn finally came up - the comfortable blue sky, the familiar world returning - I could think of no other way to express my relief than through poetry.
