Twelve Days of Xmas

1) I preferred the back of the boat, where the wind whipped me stupid.

2) Sunglasses and a juice box: these two things, see, are no enforcer. No, they leave us a little wilted.

3) The older the photo the deeper the lake: the newer the life, something about breathing. I don’t know.

4) The thing is, I don’t feel alone in the house, even though I like am.

5) What happened to you? Here you are laughing, and the big words—

6) and that stupid hat. Trying to locate the world centrally from a central location. You travel but you don’t like move enough.

7) Well, that’s what we were getting at.

8) It had to do with the fireplace, the amount of time we had, &c.

9) What happened to you? You used to be without so many things, and now you’re full of boots.

10) I called you things behind your back. Like ocelot. And newspaper.

11) It doesn’t mean much, but overhead you’re either in a fish tank or you’re blurry, sideways, trimming trees.

12) Use discretion. Time is a factor. The kid falls asleep on the lake.
