raze 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.
