i feel i am physically caged everyday,like i can't be all of me because people somehow get suspicious. i can't explain it, but i think it's my fault. i can only be fully me through my writings. one day that won't have to happen any longer. i love this poem, thanks for posting this Andrea. -Always&Forever Lynette

Forgot to tell you where "El Tatio" is. It's a cluster of geysirs in the altiplano of the Atacama Desert...Gert
