big dumb blanket forts 1.

when i tell you,

"i am intelligent and brave"

i am reading an article in national geographic

i am not afraid of talking about sad things

like people who don’t have short term memory

i won’t make the connection that you can’t remember stuff

and you won’t make the connection that you can’t remember stuff

i will ask how are you feeling?

and you will say that you’re writing a story about a boy that wakes up and discovers that there is a

human face on his stomach

and the face has an expression

like a dreamless sleep

i will ask if you can send me the first draft

i will ask you does the face like to talk about poetry?
