we ran. ran for hours, no goal besides together. were eventually stopped by a young person (no longer young enough for stars in eyes, too young for eyes in stars) who asked us for directions to school. issy apologized and shared our ignorance. misgendered the youth. apologized deeply for that. her blunder, once a source of her paralysis, today stretched opportunity's legs: faraday is our new friend's name. we don't know if they ever found their school, but we had enlightening discussions over barbecue lunch. faraday's bucket list involves visiting haiti and cuba, i think that's a great goal to have. there's a whole world out there just waiting for the next generation to be allowed outside to explore it. i await that day.

this post is named for a word they used during our discussion. issy followed along, brilliant as ever. i just took note of how the word sounded on the tongue. i think i like it?
