The Happiest Kid in the World
BY MAYA HORN
We should
go to CVS. If I can wear your sweater I guess you can wait outside. - If we had a kid it would be the happiest kid in the world. I am the happiest kid in the world just to have you bring me home again. A glass of water from the bedside which I use to kill last night - and this morning, too, you remind me. that was screaming your name, god’s name, that I love you until I felt it overflow mixed with slick mixed with sweat - Hot, I say, and swallow fifty dollars, left with tired, lingering thoughts about the moment of conception. Please, I know you’ve been here long enough. We don’t have to be underneath my blanket. Just help me fall asleep, or at least stay until the dizziness stops. |
