1. I don't know why sometimes I can't bring myself to speak. It's almost as if my mouth is a fireplace, and as soon as the chimney starts smoking, I flip the damper on and poison everyone in the house. This is the only illustration I can use to try and explain what it feels like.
2. Sometimes poetry can be so boring, it reminds me of mathematics.
3. Last week this man came into the cafe and paid for his latte with exact change and I said "perfect" and he said "anything perfect scares me." I told him that the irony of perfection is that it's found through being okay with your faults. He told me I made sense. I don't know where the sentence came from.
4. I don't let the fact that I think I am inadequate govern my life half as much.
