A Chลka
Gymboree playdates;
small girls... ack! That is to say,
medium-sized girls
playing, exhausting themselves
on climbing walls, slides,
trampolines, bungee towers,
huge air mattresses,
forts of enormous cushions,
ball pits, balloon rooms,
mini-soccer fields, dark rooms,
swings, long balance beams,
multiple levels, and then
pizza followed by
ice cream are actually
enough to exhaust
them after a few hours, though
I can hardly believe it.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

It was not a regular laugh. It was an expression of nervousness. Note the sweat on the forehead.
