This poem takes its title and one of its lines from a collage by my friend and occasional collaborator Ivana Primero: "you are a little bit here / i am a little bit there." Its illustrations are based on pen sketches I made in my journal and photos I took in the past year of places that have stuck in my memory. I recreated these images by scratching into film and exposing photopolymer plates.
