“…for it was in dreams that the two girls had met. Long before Edna Finch’s Mellow House opened, even before they marched through the chocolate halls of Garfield Primary School…they had already made each other’s acquaintance in the delirium of their noon dreams. They were solitary little girls whose loneliness was so profound it intoxicated them

this passage is so pretty, and i think i agree with barbara smith (alum from my school! yay) that it is queerly readable.

It is, but then again, so is the whole book. It's one of the first stories that I read with a relationship between two black women that centered them (high school.) The imagery it conjures up is just so surreal, I can't even describe it properly.
