part one of too many works of FICTION
5:36 am and you would kill a puppy with an axe for a glass of water
that white noise quiet sound that a house makes when it's dark out
there's that puppy in the hallway...i already got a glass, maybe tomorrow
5:45 am and you're back in bed...laying down...with your eyes open
8:00 am .....eyes still open and you're beginning to get a headache
maybe this is why the opposite sex has little interest in you
you've never been normal, you've always been...compensated
grace gets compensated with personality
wealth is compensated for with creativity
and opportunity is compensated for with....something....i'm sure
8:02 am the phone rings and you decide to ignore it
8:05 am and the phone has been ringing for 3 minutes
she called this early to be sure she was noticed...
for old people, being ignored is worse than being dead
when you're dead, you don't acually care about being forgotten
maybe thats why she doesn't submit to a home...
"is your father home? i wanna talk at him."
in this family no one seems to talk TO anyone else
just at them, so the chance of being heard goes up
and the chance of being wrong goes down...theoretically...
"uhhhh, he might be, i think he's asleep"
silence...see, i would wake him up but he would get sick again
and i know what would happen then.....but if i don't let her talk
she'll get upset....and i'll feel bad, and even though she's insane
it's not good to feel like i've hurt her somehow...the love thing...
i make an excuse....silence again...white noise...empty house...empty noise
this is your family....this is the start of your day
and you're told you should be happy
welcome to the start of your revelation
and be careful, it'll bite back
