Epigraph
Before (November)
You Blame the Internet for the Whole Thing.
Lucille and I are down to skivvies.
And I do.
The Sinking Girl is in the room next to mine.
I give blood.
A week after that, on December 19, it’s our birthday.
I knew he would be here, and that’s super weird.
I’m three days post-birthday, and I’m out of here.
During (January)
I should mark my bedroom wall like they do in prison movies.
Reggie waits in my driveway.
So this is being young and alive.
Sometimes breathing is hard.
I lost six more days of my life.
This therapist looks like she could use some therapy right about now.
What I connect to is a chair.
Then there is Jasmine.
Joe’s house is not what I expected.
Gigi doesn’t do comas.
I should be flipping out right now.
“You stole my car!”
I hold the box from Madame in my lap as though it is a biting, stinging thing.
That Sunday night, I had a dream about Jasmine.
After that dream, school is, like, what am I doing here?
She’s throwing pots, not painting.
“Chop wood, carry water.”
There are secrets in there.
Joe guides me across the street to Gigi’s.
I’m charging Jasmine’s room when Spock blocks my path.
We’re in the bowling alley.
When I get home, I decide to clean out the garage with my dad.
Dr. Marlene Gat is extremely smug.
I’m going to try for heaven, I guess, even though it feels like hell.
A Few Days Later I Have Another Dream.
I spend days analyzing the dream.
Jasmine finds me in midair.
I should tell Joe about Jasmine.
Digby has his headphones on.
Parker’s house is mayhem.
Insomnia sucks.
It’s time to deal with the shrine.
My mother is in bed.
It’s a hell of a day for a funeral for a leather jacket.
I know it’s rude to abandon your own funeral.
Jasmine’s room.
When I Die, It Won’t Be the Earth I’ll Miss, Its Flora and Fauna, Its Tail Feathers and Pomp, Its Seasons.
