Description: |
everything. Nothing is when I wake and dont knowwhere I am. Nothing is why I cry. Nothing is foreverin my thoughts. Nothing is what is on boys mind whensex and magic go for a coffee break. Nothing is the needfor speed when youre standing still. Nothing is when Ihold my breath and pretend Im somewhere else.Nothing is something even when something leavesnothing far behind. Nothing is everything small andeverything large, and nothing in between. Nothing isthe ratio of time-time. Nothing is the way my eyesroll when Im embarrassed. Nothing is what Imthinking about right now.--Kellyn Bartlett10/5/99:What Happens When Im Not at HomeNo ones at home. Just the fish swimming in theirtank. My room is clean. My bed is made. Everything isstraight. The ice maker is making ice.On Thursday theres an exception, a woman namedSue, not my mom, Sue Newcomer, comes in to clean.Monday, Wednesday and Friday, my moms there tillten oclock.The few sounds are the ice maker, the fish tank filter,and air conditioning. The sun makes shadows. Plantsare growing. Talias dolls are in her room.—Ari Shifron |
