Consider This Life

I want to erase everything that I am.

I want to smear it
all over these pages
until it's nothing,
not even a blur on
the outskirts of my memory.

Today was pretty wonderful.

I spent the day at Chris’s. We “watched” Ironman and really watched I, Robot. (Which is an excellent movie.) And there were Sun Chips! And with a ton of prodding I got his sister, Alexia, to admit she loved me.

And, the funniest thing ever happened. I.e., he bled on me.

We were, um… “watching” Ironman when all of a sudden he looks at me, says oh no, and rushes to the bathroom.

I follow after him, confused. And look in the mirror, and see blood on my face. (And my hoodie, his hoodie, and coming out his nose)

I laughed forever. I did. It was so good.
