i crawl like an insect. i go to sleep where the bed bugs bite.

wind is a powerful symbol of change. even from simply sticking your head out the window and finding it whipping your hair around.

.........

the window is open. the sprinklers are busy. the partly cloudy skies have not rained today. i swear i hear a loon calling, even though we live nowhere near a pond.

cursors blink as much as i do.

i have feet that yearn to move constantly. when i'm on them all day, i just stand and walk. then i come home and yearn for them to be propped up.

truth tables are more than just logic. if you promise that taxes will go down if you're elected, and you're not elected, and taxes don't go down, you never lied.

my kingdom for a good camera. my kingdom is my room. now give me the camera. there is plenty of world to capture outside of these walls.

i was going to smash last night's bug with one of my godspell shoes. i'd wanted to use something heavier before, so i nearly smashed it with a first edition copy of bonfire of the vanities. instead, i opened the cover and found your note. i want to talk to you about it, if you like. it seems like you're already accepting closure, but i need closure, assurance, of my own. i'm continuing lolita. i will read tom wolfe. i will find some way to smuggle that sign down to my dorm room. i feel like a mooch for all of that. i want to thank you, for being such a good friend to me. the bug got away from me.

.........

i wish i was as good a person as you imagine me to be. but i'm not. you deserve so much better.
