hmm
An extra-special birthday gift: I didn't have to give my asinine speech on making pillows today.
I celebrate my birthday as I have many times before, at a comfortably shabby Japanese steakhouse. The shoji screens are ripped but the service is friendly. I eat eel and watch the chef whose skin is like dried tea leaves entertain a child.
I cannot possibly be seventeen. In my head, I am a young fifteen.
Everything makes me want to sleep.
