the swinger of birches i would package it up in a little plastic tackle box and make sure that you get some. it would be for emergencies only, of course. in those moments that you are all alone and you believe you are going to commit suicide, you could open it up and take out the fuzzy shaped one and stick in your mouth and you would hooked on care. 021206

Isaou Sometimes it gets to the point
where you know that you should
but you don't.
It's then that you know
once again you must show
on the outside at least
some form of human feeling.
Pretending to care
pretending to have an opinion
is the only thing
that some of us know.
You'd be surprised
how much feeling has died
inside these hollow bodies
of ours.
To you it may seem strange
that we can't
that we don't
get effected any longer
by the troubles in the world
the troubles in our lives.
The show put on
for your display
is just a guess
at what a normal kid
would do.
How they would react
How they would feel
How they would go on
I don't care no more
but I'll never let it show.

kerry the teacups and saucers are all chipped but i hold them carefully as eggs. let’s use them for our morning coffee—we’ll have four cups instead of two. doesn’t it feel so decadent?

i’ll admit i’m still sad about the gouges under the red kettle that my mother mailed me. and i do still remember standing in that kitchen with the sloping floor and the oven we leveled with cardboard and i demanded an explanation, first about the mugs, then the shattered glass with the strawberries i loved so much. i wanted to know why is his hand so heavy, why isn’t he more careful with me, it’s obvious he has no_clue what i mean

i wanted to know why did he treat his guitars like babies and me like i was his mother? but now he’s speaking spanish with his wife and baby and pug and likely ruining his own kettles). the kettle is redder than red and even more so when i clean it. i imagine his is made of tin, 50 cents from goodwill. too hot to touch until the water’s already cold again.
