Montreal and Toronto. Further away from Mexico, Denver, and all other pasts. Closer to NYC and to some fantastic phd programs. Further away from this nation. Closer to Poland and my other family in Ottawa. Further away from Vietnam. Further away from dry and tolerable cold. Closer to running away again. Closer to radicals that inspire me. Further and closer and push and pull. I miss everyone whether they're here or not or whether or not I'm here. I have under 6 months to decide. Will they let a dirty USA'er into their peaceful country?
