brick
once in 2011
someone at a party
offered me rum
mixed with cough medicine
from a 1 liter plastic bottle of generic orange soda
i thought
this will make me
drunk, depressed
and extremely tired
but i won't have to cough
i am not literally a goldfish but i strongly relate to them
i read an article on the internet
about how most children go through a
"stealing phase"
from 2-7 years old,
which child development experts say is a perfectly healthy
way for children
to determine boundaries,
i remembered this
the other day
riding my bike past American Apparel.
i want to
make a pile of flower print summer dresses and salmon khaki shorts
and set it on fire in the middle of the store
while a Coldplay song from 2002 plays over the speaker system
to inhale so much smoke that i quickly pass out
to the sound of someone calling the manager.
favorite shape
i can tell
when you are in a good mood
because
you will usually text me something like:
"i want to go all George Washington on the tree in our front yard."
