Oddly — being instructed on how to feel is not helpful. Not even.
Oct 29, 2023
Beatifically bleating into another’s depressed face is like demanding they respond instantly, rise like a souffle.
They grin stupidly into our abyss, waiting for the feel-good payoff.
Their sharp elbows catch on our raveled sleeve of care as we wipe wet eyes widened in dull horror at the oven door knocked open.
Souffles are predictable.
