my cousin once took a bite off a fake fruit i had sitting on my kitchen counter. i felt strangely proud, like i had stuff that looked so good i could fool him, i could fool anyone.
He gave me sixty stern looks in the past hour, a hundred and forty two yesterday and three thousand fifty six last month. Each were engraved in my brain, pulsating like a fresh wound about to gush out blood. I laughed at my terror.
My skin would go from transparent to luminous periodically. When I was with her, it happened weekly. Some days you could see me in the dark and through sunlight and I felt complete.
I tried calculating the dimensions of my embarrassment, tried to put my feelings into numbers since I've failed to put it into words. All I could come up with was a three cubic centimeter white, weather resistant cone.
i have spent my entire life chopping logs. there are life lessons in it, but they are only in the aesthetics of geometry. i have never found such a thing as futile and beautiful as admiring the curvature of the line drawn in the air by a deadly weapon aimed at something that died years ago. i can spend my whole life in the woods, never feel the need to speak another word.
