That ARRANGEMENT. I love the parallels between writing and flower arrangements -- so true. And I'm delighted that Derby is a shithole stayed in. Excellent line!
Thank you, Caroline! For ages I was getting in my head about Substack not being the appropriate place for imagery, but I'm really enjoying mixing it up a bit.
Hahaha, as I was redrafting it and rereading that line I was thinking of you!
I think it delights me especially because I come from Baltimore, which was also a bit of a shithole. It has done a lot to improve since then, but there really is a reason The Wire was set there. Yay for growing beautiful flowers out of the mud. 🩷
