It's Thanksgiving.
Yesterday, I was wearing shorts and basketball shoes, and today I feel like I should only eat animals I kill.
The trash cans were left turned over in a pool of streetwater.
I'm not sure cellphone cancer is even real, and If my design business fails, I want to be a firefighter.
I often feel my body deteriorating. I picture terrible things happening.
It's Thanksgiving, and I take all of our DVDs out of their cases and put them into a DVD portfolio. I alphabetize all of our DVDs, and take all of the paper waste out of the DVD cases to be recycled. I pack all of the blank DVD boxes into a cardboard box.
Later, we walk to a party, and I dance to Jennifer Lopez with my son.
I separate my trash into piles. I nod at people walking by.
It's Thanksgiving and I'm riding my bike to the bar. It's lesbian night.
It's Thanksgiving and I ride a motorcycle off of the side of a building, onto the back of an eighteen-wheeler.
It's Thanksgiving and I'm driving a 1989 Buick Regal through Japan.
Foghat is playing.
I feel my body deteriorating. I picture terrible things happening.
Sitting in a room, I look at the room for a little while. The room has green carpet.
I have night terrors. I wake up and feel the last moment of living. It's late, and I sit down in front of an outdoor fire pit.
I'm standing by a DVD kiosk at Walgreens, watching people rent movies. The price of living is fear.
I tug at the base of a sago palm, and remove a smaller palm from its side.
