por favor
Tell me a story,
a memory,
an observation,
a thought,
something about you
(the crickets under your bed,
what you really think of that curmudgeonly neighbor,
the potato gun-how you made it, how it works,
a gnarled tree,
your favorite postage stamps,
the way you like to wear ties as belts and hairbands,
drinking Coke with peanuts,
landmarks along the walk to the dining hall,
musings on social justice,
the ripping numbness,
the silent frustration,
the soft ecstasy,
the epiphany of a turning point,
your brand of toothpaste,
the ridiculous costume,
the last conversation with your roommate...)
Something, anything.
doesn't have to be earth-shattering
or substantial
or your darkest confessional,
or anything at all
(though those are equally good.)
Tell me something, about you, about the world, huge or tiny or anywhere in between.
Anonymous if you like.
