saturday.

advance uniform.

i sat in a high-backed chair painted black in a room i'd never been in before.  i had on an over-sized khaki colored shirt i like to wear.  on the tv were sea creatures pretending to be screen savers but i knew they were real.  i was called down to the gallery where a man sat near a giant wall of windows.  it was so bright in there.  i could barely see his face.  a bunch of my drawings were there hanging in a row.  the man asked how i was able to make the blue crystals so shiny in the one closest to him.  it was a strip of blue tape crumpled up.  i didn't want to disappoint him so i acted like he meant it as a compliment and not a question.  i smiled instead of answering.
