They tease you
because they adore you.”

“Whoever invented English
should have learned
to spell.”

“Paperwork, paperwork with a woman who pats my head while shaking her own. I step back, hating pity, having learned from Mother that the pity giver feels better, never the pity receiver.”

“Mother warns
how we act today
foretells the whole year”
