i
used
to
carry
a
little
wire-bound notepad
with
me
when
i
went
out
drinking
.
the
kind
with
the
wires
up
top
.
sometimes
i
would
get
ideas
,
and
sometimes
those
ideas
would
become
songs
or
blathes
.
one
friday
night
eighteen
years
ago
,
i
drew
myself
with
hands
that
looked
like
mangled
origami
and
a
single
foot
that
didn't
look
like
a
foot
at
all
.
i
think
the
origami
hands
were
supposed
to
be
puppets,
because
i
wrote
this
beside
the
doodle:
"
there's
a
reason
i
don't
own
puppets;
i
am
a
puppet
."
i
was
angry
and
confused
when
i
was
twenty
.
that's
all
that
was
about
.
what
i
couldn't
have
known
then
was
that
someday
i
would
own
not
one
but
two
washcloth
hand
puppets. they've
never
washed
anything
.
i
wouldn't
do
that
to
them
.
but
sometimes
they
look
at
me
as
if
they're
wondering
when
i'm
going
to
invent
something
for
them
to
do
.
