In the basement sand is melting. Imagine that, millions of years of crustaceous love stories, rocks slowly poisoned until they, along with ancient deep sea lovers, washed ashore to become the nuisance of the crevices of leather seats of automobiles. In the basement the rocky lobster lovers are taking new shape as the girl in the goggles with the hair tied back into a bun forces air from her lungs into the sticky clearness. That can’t be very good for you, breathing in a million (maybe more) years of betrayal and ****** and friendship and laughter between ***** and clams. It can’t be healthy to take in so much at once. I wonder what it’s like to speak a language known by so few. To walk down an aisle in the supermarket and reaching the curves of a coca-cola bottle, the girl in the glasses with the bun cries uncontrollably yelling, “Do you see that? All the beauty and the sadness in the waves of molten sand in six little bottles.” To give your soul a little clear house, letting everyone look inside (without really seeing) letting everyone walk around it, and nodding and saying “Oh will you see what she did there?” and seeing nothing but a misshapen coca-cola bottle. In the basement backbones are being melted into a new mold. They are somewhere hidden in the waves I cannot read, amidst the million years I cannot hear of crustaceous love stories.
