| Just Add Water |
| by Tim McGovern |
| Dust,
they say, is mostly dead skin and hair. I look under the bed for a shoe and realize I've lived here a long time, there's another me clinging to forgotten sneakers and books about the plains Indians. Maybe I'll gather myself up, add some water, and scotch, and szechuan peppercorns, yes! and make the me who can fall to pieces when things don't go right and i can go about my life collecting dust to build me back up again. |
