Dear Rubin,
1:11:34
l've been thinking about my life
compared to yours.
1:11:39
l come from Bush wick
in Brooklyn.
1:11:42
My parents are alcoholics,
and my brother's in prison.
1:11:47
l was third in my class,
and l couldn't even read.
1:11:50
l couldn't write you
this letter just a year ago,
1:11:54
but then l met these friends
from Canada when l had
a summerjob at the EPA.
