This is Monday.
I go back to school in nine hours. I don’t know what to wear. I am not tired.

I’d tell you that I need you, but I don’t want you to feel obligated to stay.

I rolled over to the sun,
oh, warpaint-stained cheeks;
I tasted age, but no wisdom of the wise.
and that tune that you whistled into me
is rattling my bones again.
And you hold me like you’re far away,
and you far away like lovers,
sing like muted radio,
and sulk like broken shutters.

About to order a pizza and a double order of breadsticks for myself. Forever alone, forever in love with pizza.

And amphibians tumbled sluggishly from your lips
And I saw those parted pages again, the ones I fell asleep to.
And with the blinds rolled curtly, I rolled my eyes up so their whites shown-
And I prayed to the gods of children’s stories, why I was so cursed.

And as we drove home, my body felt disconnected from itself, like one of those plastic pull-apart models in anatomy class. And when we paused and then lurched forward from a long red stoplight, I felt a piece of me fall behind, left at the intersection, and as we drove I felt the left side of me whistling, hollow, in the breeze. Every side street we passed ripped away another organ so that by the...

You want me to write you a letter? Oh, god bless...
Tell me the truth, what made you start liking the person you like right now?
He listened to Gogol Bordello.
What on your body is hurting or bothering you?
My hair keeps blowing in my eyes.
What was your last thought before going to bed last night?
I was extremely tired, and worried that my skin was breaking out.
What are you listening to?
Due Date, on the television, and my dog snoring...

I have several nervous ticks. They come and go based on the state of my anxiety. Today at work, as a line of customers quickly stuffed up our small restaurant, I was overcome with nervousness and accidentally gave someone the wrong change. At the image of the customer’s incredulous face, I was suddenly overly aware of everything I take care to ignore each day. The slices of tomato being...

I’m in the living room. One image has been burning itself into the television screen for hours, peering through the glass portal into this world. Music is skating lazily through the air. The fan is shouting at everything- although it is an appliance which does for me a respectable service, it still always seems to be shouting. The houseplant in the wicker basket is trembling in it’s...

I miss you. I’ve been sitting here for years, and I’ve wasted it all missing you. Here I am, not the way you knew me last: I’ve developed that feminine curvature, my eyes have grown darker, and I’m taller. My hair- it has grown tiny fractions today. I miss the way your eyes lit up and the way your skin felt on the surface of mine. I miss the look of you, the sound, the...
