Number One Tell your roommate to hide all the knives because you will carve her name on all pieces of furniture. Number Two Cut your nails because you will still try to carve her name on all pieces of furniture. Number Three Give away your furniture because carvings of her name will remind you of her. Number Four Carve her name on everything until her name looks more like vandalism and less like the name of someone who carved something out of you. Carve her name until it looks less than the war cry that you will lay your heart for, less than the title of the song that keeps you up at night, less than the poem that makes you get up every morning. Though she is was is your everything and nothing, carve her name. You have to.

Four Items Regarding Carving
Number One Tell your roommate to hide all the knives because you will carve her name on all pieces of furniture. Number Two Cut your nails because you will still try to carve her name on all pieces of furniture. Number Three Give away your furniture because carvings of her name will remind you of her. Number Four Carve her name on everything until her name looks more like vandalism and less like the name of someone who carved something out of you. Carve her name until it looks less than the war cry that you will lay your heart for, less than the title of the song that keeps you up at night, less than the poem that makes you get up every morning. Though she is was is your everything and nothing, carve her name. You have to.
