I
sweep
my
floor
in
resistance
I
fold
the
laundry
in
resistance

and
to
the
goblin
king
says
sarah
you
have
no
power
over
me

I
was
unusually
happy
disconcerting
I
felt
like
the
earth

she
petted
my
cat
a
way
I
never
had
before
and
my
cat
liked
it

I
wished
I
was
the
only
person
in
a
city
full
of
houses

sometimes
the
streetlamp
is
the
moon
and
the
moon
is
the
streetlamp
sometimes

I
see
those
tears
in
your
beer
would
your
misery
like
some
company

in
times
like
these
I
stop
and
ask
myself
what
would
gloria
steinum
do

I
kept
looking
up
to
see
if
his
eyes
were
on
me
and
at
times
they
were

I
am
the
red
balloon
she
said
you're
the
old
lady
whispering
hush

he
can't
take
our
power
from
us
unless
we
relinquish
it
and
we
won't

I'll
wrap
my
ghost
arms
around
you
haunt
you
always
my
daughter
said
thank
you

the
tree
obscured
the
burger
king
sign
and
it
looked
like
a
crescent
moon

he
also
said
peace
is
a
means
imagine
an
end
with
means
like
that

these
old
ghosts
and
their
talking
how
am
I
supposed
to
get
any
sleep

we
were
trapped
in
our
snow
cave
for
days
on
days
until
the
sun
its
rays

she's
strategic
she
thinks
before
she
acts
I
could
learn
a
thing
or
two

I
have
decided
to
stick
with
love
hate
is
too
great
a
burden
to
bear

I
forgot
her
birthday
which
was
unlike
me
and
probably
said
something

he
woke
in
the
night
kissed
the
middle
of
her
back
and
lay
back
to
sleep
