ABSURDITY IS NECESSARY


Dear You,

I'd like you to stop and think about how terrible I've been and how much I take you for granted. I won't be surprised if you just give up one day, but I know how much you like me, so I guess I would be surprised by your strength. Surprised, and, proud of you, I guess. Maybe I hurt you so that you'll throw me away and I can feel better about myself.

There's no one as right as you. You look like no one else. You feel like no one else. There's a great divide that someone else would have to cross to be anything like you. You're a land that only unsuspecting little indians live on; not aware of the greater, meaner world. You have made me realize that a bit of absurdity is necessary in keeping one's wits about them. So be patient with my growing up. You'll get what bet on in the end.

love: me
