I ate bread stuffed with jam and berries for breakfast. It stained the tissue black. I dislike the secondary twos, they remind me of the past. I feel nervous for the secondary fours, they show me the future. I'm neutral about the secondary ones, little noisy children they are. I LOVE the secondary threes because I'm biased and Rui Min likes to touch grasshoppers and Mr Kang got Inception to daze us and we study together and go on camps and outings and ccas together and See Miang is a naughty ReverSee and Jaslyn reads the world like it's a Korean drama and because they are all so nice, all so nice, all so nice, all so nice.
"Say fuhgeddboudit, Corrie."
"Fergettaboutit."
"No no no, say fuhgeddboudit."
"Fergettaboutit."
"Oh, man, fuhgeddboudit!"
"Okay, Tillie," he said, "I'll fuh-get-bout-it."
The world spins. We stumble on. It is enough.
