Fly’s dinner jacket, it’s a special occasion and the fly is recognized for its shiny beauty. And we are all included in the soiree, right? No one doesn’t belong. This means I am doing it right, no matter how other people may do it. Grief as a tribute to the lost, as a tribute to one’s own existence as an emotional person.

Bless you, Jessica, for gifting us this savoury bit of poetry.

You're right: we're all in this together.

Grief personified. And Dog. Would we be such astute students without them?
