Sarah Erdman Quotes

I Have Five Flashlights And Each Performs Its Own Trick. I Have A Raincoat With Zippers And Net Material So I Never Get Too Hot In A Downpour. I Have A Shelf Crammed With Books And A Shortwave That Speaks Arabic, Japanese, Dutch And Russian. They Have Mud Huts With Maybe A Few Chairs And Faded Pages Of Old Magazines Fastened To The Wall. I Ride My Twenty-one Speed Peace Corps-issue Bike To Ferke Not To Save A Dollar On Transport But For The Luxury Of Exercise. They Ride In From Their Settlements On Cranky Old Mopeds Or Bikes With A Single Cog Because It's The Only Option. And They Give Me Charity. I Just Stare At It - Near Tears. To Refuse Their Offer Would Be Pure Insult. So I Do The Rounds Again Shaking Hands With All The Men In Boubous Saying Over And Over "An Y Che " Thank You.
