The table behind my TV is Dusty like furniture in an abandoned house. I’m sitting on my couch thinking that my phone only works because I’m a virgo. I looked out the window and saw my soft cat smelling the bluebonnets in the yard, then cocked his head to listen to the singing birds, tasting the grass around him. From my seat I could feel the clouds in the sky, and hear the testimonies of used furniture. Then I thought of random facts and realized that BeyoncΓ© Knowles was born in Houston Texas. But now my phone won’t work. Maybe I could go to China because iPhones were made in China. Not middlebury. I saw yet another story in the newspaper about how vaccines cause autism. My mom came back home from the store and I asked “Did you secure the bag?” When I was at the zoo the grumpy lion was feeling really lonely. He roared quietly like a trumpet. BeyoncΓ© is so idolized, it’s almost as if she can fly. Mon can think of some crazy things sometimes. In another time, maybe she’ll be able to understand her thoughts. And that carnivorous computer she has will be gone. But the sun only rises at midnight. Everyone’s telling me to calm down but Je suis Calme! The letters on the paper that I was writing danced off the page, as I sit on my couch.
