How are you? [no I'm not. I'm not. Everything is falling apart] Great! Hi! [I need to hide. hide before my seams split open] What's new? How was your day? [frustrating. brick walls. ice daggers. you name it. I need a tall building] Not too bad, yours? How are you feeling? [shattered. please don't...I can't] Sleepy, a little. [bursting out. spilling. tidal wave of complete wrongness. ribs rattling around uncontrollable feelings. rage. throat tight. calves twinging. head spinning] Smile! Could you- do you? really desire this knowledge? Unwanted, unwarranted, personally, so I won't regift. I'm not sure your ears  really want the weight of it, anyway.
