Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah.

This is Joel.

From the first time I saw him,

I knew I wanted to be his friend.

And I was right.

Because he wears a Scotch tape tie

that's actually his family tartan,

and borrows my blender to make the yummiest food,

and knew I would love this music:

When he's around,

everything glistens under the sheen

of his easy charm.

And people are glad

to be there.
