he’s a first timer visited by two ghosts that have nowhere to be.  not a single pencil in his house is sharpened.  his days are cut short.  not by sleep.  he is famous for three things.  all three are online.  his mother’s blog sickens him.  has one entry.  has one entry with a link to its visiting hours.  he is working on a fourth.  loneliness as a cure for homophobia.  homophobia as a remedy for memory loss.  the baby in his stomach comes and goes.  at will and not.
