from Iowa
I have a new friend from Iowa. When she calls I’m told I’m getting a call from Iowa. It’s not true though. She lives here in Indiana. She’s never calling me from Iowa. But she sounds like she might be. She sounds like she could be sitting in the middle of Iowa somewhere and so in that way I feel like I’m talking to someone in Iowa. I guess she thinks like someone from Iowa too. I’m not exactly sure what that is yet. She sits up very straight in class though and when I talk to her she focuses on me and I can tell she lets herself be consumed with what I’m saying. I picture her as a magnet and all my thoughts being metal pieces that she draws to herself. All of this has got me wishing that I’d get more phone calls from Iowa.
