FRAGMENTVM #Dear Twitter, @mobrowne
Carina sibi S.: Res prima, quae ad animam meditaris. mihi licet levis manibus innare—noli flagellare, cum piscelli te morantur.
Carina sibi S.: Subridens facis diem pulcherrimum; saepe age.
Carina Novo Eboraco S.: Fecisti ut Californiae haec alios metuam; didici hospites non spectare e te, non tangere, loqui, ridere.
Carina filiae S.: Metuo ut sis tuta; precor ut quomodo sol oriatur, sic tu; utinam intellegas pro te ossibus me laborare.
Carina puellae S.: Spem fallimus, quippe cum viros fingamus qui peccatis fracti sunt
Carina puellae S.: Redda rationem; aliquae animum bonorum frangunt.

Mahogany best wishes to herself: You make the day most beautiful when smiling; do it often.
Mahogany best wishes to New York: You made this Californian woman fear others; I have learned from you not to look at strangers, not to touch, to speak, to smile.
Mahogany best wishes to her daughter: I fear that you are not safe; I pray that however the sun rises, so do you; may you understand that I work to my bones for you.
Mahogany best wishes to a girl: We deceive hope, of course when men mold us who have broken us with promises.
Mahogany best wishes to a girl: Take back the reckoning: some women break the spirit of good men.
