when things get boring
All I could do for now is remember things. Like when I was a child, my mother would ask me what my favorite cartoon character is because hers is snoopy. “Because he’s a dog and my favorite animal is a dog”, she would add. And rememebering that now, I could have answered, “Well, mom, I don’t know any cartoon character aside from the characters I see from my classmates roller bags because we dont have a tv(I suppose that’s where you get to know those characters, right?)” instead of answering “tweety bird” to amuse her then maybe she would like me a bit more than my little brothers. But I really don’t like that bird. I don’t have any favorite cartoon character. I don’t have any favorite things. And I don’t know why those questions were important when I was a kid. I haven’t answered any slambook because I don’t have favorite things. My mind was more focused on how to escape and now I wonder how I escaped without having any favorite thing. For now, you are my favorite person. I’ll think about the others later. We will share a smoke somewhere, everywhere, then I’ll tell you a verse from a song and pretend it’s my own words but you will never know about it because you’re too high with smoke and my words.
