In far-off Mandalay
I lost my heart to a Burmese girl
As lovely as the day.

The loveliest thing alive,
And in her lisping, virgin voice,
Stood out for twenty-five.

How it feels to be an unfunny clown."

Did everyone cry? Oh no, no, no,
They laughed until they shook the trees...
And while the world laughed outside.

while he paints.
We talk about how he's going to Spain
for the fall semester

and points to this one part,

when he painted it.
It is so sad
how knowing something
so small
can make me so happy.

You're better than you think," I whispered. "I didn't realize it when I was little, didn't understand that look in your eyes, why you always looked so sad, but I get it now.
