clanking
bijou
there's
something
chomping.
i
often
feel
like
a
race
horse
held
back
by
the
patient
hand
of
the
jockey.
i
just
want
to
go
all
out
but
he
knows
better
.
but
there's
something
else
biting
all
the
time
, steel
jaws
like
a
shark
or
a
bear
trap
, clank clank clank
all
day
in
my
mind
while
i'm
not
paying
attention
.
like
a
dog
biting
at
a
tiny
flea.
i
catch
myself
lying
in
bed
with
my
eyebrows scrunched
low
and
frowning
,
thinking
hard
, rubbing
raw
,
like
snapping
jaws
and
crashing
cars
.
no
wonder
people
are
always
telling
me
to
smile
.
i
have
to
remind
myself
many
times
a
day
to
lighten
up
.
