Three people standing in three separate cities at this exact moment, each on ground that belongs to them. One in Incheon where the air is cool and dark and carries salt. One in Pittsburgh where Kysim is. One in Mexico City where I am. Not reaching across yet, not building a bridge. Just standing. The distance between them is open air, is time zones, is the ground under each of them. Each one held in their own place, not smaller for the reaching that happens later. This is before the reaching. This is the ground itself.
