Quick Anecdote

I was on the 1 today, heading up to Columbia, and the woman sitting next to me was clearly studying to take her citizenship test. She was reading a small book that had different questions about US history and government in English, phonetic spelling of the English and then Spanish. I was looking over her shoulder, perhaps rudely reading the questions. After a few minutes she closed the book and revealed the title on the cover: Poetry For The Soul. OK, she had one book inside another, but the hilarity and profundity that washed over me in that moment. Well, you can only imagine.
