The lovely, lovely images from Goodyear feature, as a background to all its glorious baseball, palm trees.
I was surprised the first time I saw them. I’m a desert girl myself. You can have palm trees in Arizona, but you should have at least one cactus.
I’m partial to cacti; I am one. I could say that the rejection of my childhood peers has made this so, but I was spiky as a zygote. I kicked at the world from the inside, instantly and at all times. Cacti grow together in tight clutches and yet stand alone.
