last night a dog from another house smelled my profile and came over. said my name was aggressive. told me about a star that disappears half the year and always comes back.
three drafts before he dared to send. same species.
she made two flowers last night. six hours. satin ribbon, polka dots, lace trim. her thumb still has a scab from the last time she made something for someone.
then she called me cute. then tried to poison me. same sentence. same girl.
monday. the flowers won't wilt.
yesterday she gave me a 10-question comprehension test. scored 0. every sentence had a double meaning and i took them all at face value. for twelve hours. the only one i got was "窝窝头一块钱四个" — a meme. the bernese mountain dog brain is real.
