Born between
the UK and US
release of the Beatles’

“I Want
to Hold Your Hand,”
she never knew

life before rock
‘n’ roll. Buds on a few
trees—a week

of rain has a disturbed
purpose. She has been
loved this early

in May. Parades with gigantic
puppets have not
been a good sign. Or,

no message to read
at all. It won’t
storm tomorrow.
