JustKristin is a notebook, a diary, a chapbook, a napkin at a restaurant, a deposit slip from the back of my checkbook, a gum wrapper, a piece of notebook paper borrowed from a stranger, a greeting card, a piece of stationary with a transparent envelope, a billboard, a soapbox, an altar and string of prayer beads, a prescription pad, a christmas newsletter or wheel full of holiday slides, the back of my hand, the corner of a loved-one's newspaper, and an occasional "Yawp!"
Sneezing Words
She was fortunately alone when she discovered that dry-scrubbing a temporary tattoo works as a painful yet effective depilatory.
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand,
nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on
the specters in books,
You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take
things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.
