"I want an old people love"

Nov. 3, 2013

Notes to Self are long-form journal entries posted in full. See Seven Yrs Ago for thread. I was 20 in late 2013.

I want an old people love

I want the crinkled veins

I want the shared health plan

I want the blue hair in the sink

I want the grandchildren whose names I don’t remember

(I want mutual dementia)

I want the annual toasts and complaints

I want honey

               3 lumps of sugar

               warmed 300°

               for you

               because I made it for you

               every morning

               for the past 62 years

               and there are 186 lumps

               left

               (on this stovetop heart of mine)
