And Now.

Cheering in the streets at 1:42 a.m.

It’s honking from garbage trucks—I hugged the men who disembarked from one—they honk still blocks away, cheers rising up to meet them. I remember the thrill of Clinton at 18. It’s different. We’re all older now, even the young ones. It’s real and terrifying for its possibilities, good, bad, opaque.


So we wait and see.
