What it is Like to be Kidnapped by a Giant.

I started out on a shelf. I was very high up, like I was on a cliff. I'd try not to look down too often. I didn't have much room in what I was cramped up in. Barely enough room to move around. There was a lot of waiting. Days dragged on. I started to …

Life is Like a Carousel

Today at work I was pricing some carousel horse figurines. I noticed with each one the price stickers went on differently. Some went on smooth and perfect while others went on flawed.

Usually in Dreams you Eventually Wake up and I Hope I Never do

I’m human, I get in funks. You kind of have to, to be able to appreciate the rainbow after the storm. With you the funk isn’t as bad as it could be. You give me a sense of comfort and clarity. I feel like my human emotions are okay and natural, when I always have …
