gregory first tried twisting the top of it, then pushing. next he tried pulling it apart from its body. with a smile he said, "it IS a pen!!" his glasses, strapped around his head, were bright blue just like the monkey bars. the two of us became sharks on a bridge. he asked about my notebook. he showed me his teeth.

It is a learning which encourages change, one which inspires growth and supports a person in thinking for himself and thereby becoming more genuinely himself.”

so i slink amid the gutters, trash-can bangers, and street chatter, through the clink of sidewalk clutter, but that clatter makes me gladder; so much gladder that i woof-and i arf, pant, huff, and growl. now i'll shout and raise the roof with one good maxi-canine howl.

i'm playing a video game on a set of steep stairs. it feels like a pyramid. the bathroom floor is wet from people showering. the other girls seem familiar but i don't know them. i have no idea what i'm doing with the game. i'm trying to give the controller away but no one wants it.
