Laugh because I have kept silent all this time - yet, here - here.
this was a section of me.
Inhale slowly. don't think you might choke-
or you might.
everything is righted again - every icon in its own place.
the colors returned. every picture accounted for. the music all listed there.
funny how important that all is- as if life would fall
if an object did.
Today was mostly this
Smile. Hug. and then: "How's school?"
"It's good. yeah. I like it."
the end.
and I move on to the next smile. the next hug. the next question.
and I feel empty saying the same thing every time...
what else is there but small talk at church?
There are so many things I want to tell you.
How about broccoli beef and rice? yeah, that sounds good.
I want to pour all of me into a pool and then jump into it so i'll remember who I am.
I saw Katie Bennett in Forever 21 yesterday.
She looked the same as in high school. I wonder if I did too.
I don't think I combed my hair that day.
we said maybe a paragraph's worth each and then fled.
I need more than 1,000 characters
to say I miss you.
all painted blue.

smile. hi. how are you? did you meet God today?
I can wait. it's just harder than i realized.
why does the map have random squiggles all over it?
I've never made peach pie from scratch before.
my version of this song is not censored.
I'd be very happy if I were Daffy right now.
Pray unceasingly. Look he is here with you, always.
do no fear. do not feel discouraged. do not let your heart be downcast.
sing this, your new song. For the Lord is good. His love endures forever.
forever.
like millions of lego-years stacked on top of each other.
it came to me - he looks just like Tom - you know, from Guess Who?
Save us! Save us! Hosanna, Hosanna. We are desperately waiting.
My eye keeps tracing the same wave of color: swishwish, swishwish, swishwish.
I'm excited to be with you soon - you're like dabbles of paint on my mind.
happily so, I smile every time
you remind me of God. I think it will begin, again, again until we've landed at last
in the X marks the spot of God's choosing
together.
