THE SEVEN-SECOND GENERATION. White plastic hanger, previously molten molecules, bleach additions and thermodynamic repercussions. I use the word thermodynamic because "chemical" has a falsely truther connotation to it. It hangs the shirt I choose to wear for tomorrow. A hanger is a hanger is a grocery bag. There were actions behind every reason—but not reason behind every action. And you don't talk about it, but you think about it—because you don't want the whole world to realize that it's loneliness hidden in that shirt. You were only trying to tell yourself that maybe buttons on the other side was for the better. I forgot which words to capitalize in a title so I took capitol on them all. There was a world once, out there, somewhere, that cared for more than seven seconds. They hung up the power button, asked the tide to come closer, and walked until their hair was wet. Kept going until water kissed water within lungs.
