just this once
let it be supposed that I know how to write an essay and that I should be doing right now.
but I hear Rosemary's voice telling me to get out of my head and even though I finally figured out what that means, I am still the same selfish person who would much rather the reader get into mine. I like poetry much better because it isn't supposed to be so obvious.
my grandmother sent me a Christmas card that said:
this is gramps' first Christmas in heaven without the pain.
Ain't that great?
The inscription read "May the love of Christ be your gift this year."
and I know, because I was able to get out of my own head when I read this, that she meant it to mean "I'm not shopping." But she didn't want to write that out because that is exactly what she wrote last year... and consistency is only, if ever, hampered by the nuance of variety in my family.
