Reality.
January 11, 2010
Pieces of reality.
Little everyday tidbits,
their purpose, to assign a sense of
averageness to pain,
normalcy to confusion.
their purpose, to make us exist.
spurts of French in everyday language.
Bitten nails and
banged-up elbows.
Give them names.
tiny holes in too-tight socks
and wrinkles dollar bills.
Give them names, and recognize them.
chalk dust on hands, deep cuts on hearts.
give them names.
make us real.
