Spallholz The body is not perfect but it could be. The body remembers boys on the school bus making fun of its nose and teeth. The body knows not to smoke but it smokes anyway. The body scratches its head too hard and gets blood beneath its fingernails. The body has long legs but notices spider veins. The body spent some time not eating and then some time in baggy clothes. The body is vegetarian but likes the smell of ham. The body does not like to run. The body drinks too much. The body gets headaches often and earaches in the spring. The body has been told that it is tense. The body has been told that it is tall. The body has been told that it is graceful but also that it moves like some strange animal. The body didn’t know how to take that. |
