what
is
a
houston
spring
like
?
it
is
like
walking
into
a
tex-mex
town
that
has
just
been
blest
with
a
thunderstorm
and
the
next
day
the
flowers
are
blooming intensly
in
rich
colors
.
i
have
never
seen
it
this
green
and
life
like
before
.
it
is
so
perfect
outside
i
feel
like
i
could
break
.
i
want
to
be
apart
of
every
beautiful
thing
i
see
,
to
be
apart
of
those
mexican families
living
in
the
low
income housing,
with
their
brightly painted
houses
and
their
beautiful
plants.
i
want
to
be
apart
of
the
Westhiemer
strip
, emblazened
in
the
glow
of
the
lights
i
want
to
be
apart
of
the
man
behind
the
counter
at
gucci,
the
one
wearing
black
and
his
hair
is
spiked,
or
the
latin
girl
i
saw
at
the
club
the
other
night
holding
her
womanhood
like
a
priceless jewel, dangling
it
from
her
teeth
.
these
things
are
the
kind
of
things
that
make
you
feel
absolutely
youthful.
i
want
to
shoot
off
like
fireworks
and
runaway
down
to
the
montrose
getting
lost
in
other
peoples
stories
and
feeling
enebriated
by
living
.
this
is
what
a
houston
spring
feels
like
,
it
feels
like
walking
your
brother
to
the
toy
store
to
see
if
they
have
the
new
edition
of
Pokemon.
it
feels
like
talking
to
him
about
his
life
,
about
his
friends
,
about
sex
and
corrupting
his
mind
before
his
friends
do
.
i
know
that
a
houston
spring
is
worth
experiencing.
