so it began, so it continues
Im reading And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks so ive been trying to work on my prose. here is a little diddy i wrote up the other day when i was down for the count. bmore is turning out to be a real shitty experience:
Each new day brings a more unbearable living environment. Cant use our oven-- damn smoke detector keeps going off even when there is no smoke to be detected. Front door wont lock-- wouldnt worry about it, if it hadnt been for the shooting last week. Woken up night after night from the smoke that seeps up from downstairs: like kudzu that takes over, encompasses, and kills, the smoke covers every inch of our apartment until not even a single breath can be drawn. Suffocating, Strangling, Numbing. with every muscle of my body tired, screaming for sleep, i wake myself to get ready for work. Its 27 degrees outside. Bundle: leggings, jeans, knee high socks, socks, tshirt, thermal, hoody, sweater. Im still fucking cold. The wind stings my eyes, my nose, my fingertips. Numb. Numb on the outside. Numb on the inside.
that pretty much sums up my week. my nanny family is letting me stay with them. i slept on an air mattress in their basement last night. best sleep in a long time.
one good thing! saturday night i went to DC with my friend renae. we took the metro into the city and saw the national christmas tree! it was beautiful. and so much fun. and it snowed all day saturday so the city was white-- and so was the tree :)
