I'm in love with the air and the cries it carries to me I love that which I cannot see, nor hear, nor touch And yet I feel it The only true love I've known During a life of heartbreak and disappointments Oh!

Johan takes the old lit books out of his bag one by one and throws them at me. I bat aside a well-worn copy of Frankenstein, and then ask him why he still has it in his bag in March. For an answer, he throws Oryx and Crake at my head.Once the lit books have been exhausted, he takes out rainforests of paper and the cover of a sketchbook he messed around with last year. He takes out broken pens and pencils, a broken pair of headphones, and a few pieces of trash. All these things, he threw at me, and after they bounced off my arms or head, I picked them up and placed them on the table between us.“What is this?” I ask, holding up two pieces of...

Packages flooded the floor-- In blocky and rocky outcrops, Sticker-coated surfaces smothered In parcel tape and postage stamps, Proclaiming warnings in red type. Perhaps I need to be wary - more cautious Of the many irksome paper cuts-- A glimpse of a white here and there, Another angled fin corner.
