Hey, Catherine.

Hey, Jim.

Has anything interesting happened to you?

I went for a socially distant walk with friends, very far apart.

How was that?

Weird.

Were you able to talk or you were kind of like yelling at each other?

You know, yeah, it doesn't feel like you're having a real intimate

conversation at that distance, but it's good to see people. Yeah. It was making me realize

why so many old-timey poets used to write about going for walks.

And when you're studying this in high school, you're like,

come on, old guy.

There's so much interesting stuff happening in the world. Like,

Bill Yotti just dropped this mixed tape.

Who? Or whoever, you know, just whatever the cultural references.

Right. There's so many dank memes going around on Instagram.

Oh my God.

And you are writing about going silently for a walk, trying to choose one path over another path, and one of them has

a little more grass on it, you know.

What difference could that make right? And I finally now see you know I want to read about going for a walk because when I'm not going for a walk, I'm thinking about it, you know, your standards change, right?

I know you know a lot about literature. What are some of the best poems about walks.

Basically I only know one poem. How about this?
