For Everyone

Dear ____,

this is me writing good morning. Cloudy day. I thought it was only 8am when I woke but it was already almost 11am. It feels like I’m learning how to write letters all over again in school. Addressee, tone of voice do any of you remember? Where did those years escape to, quietly beneath each anniversary of our births and then again every year, when you see fireworks in the sky and the phone lines are jammed. Now I am eighteen and a half and alive. But mostly I feel younger and too old. How old do you feel you are? I was bad at drawing, hopeless at reality because I asked ‘why’ too much then I got an encyclopedia but I never did read it and it’s now on my shelf back home 2423.91 miles away and I get homesick. I like post-it notes and in-flight entertainment. If I was an addict, I would get high on the smell of coffee in the earliest hours of the day. I want to ask questions but I am scared, yesterday morning I woke up with my legs shivering down the stairs and then I had breakfast. I think the most wonderful thing in life is holding hands and I like listening to ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ when I think of hands. I think Munchausen By Proxy is a cool name for a disease, because TB sounds boring.

and this is me saying take care, whoever is reading this and I will write soon.
