Le dindon

"Every single day, the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still I always feel, this strange estrangement-
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right
I've been making shows
Of trading blows
Just hoping no one knows

That I've been going through the motions..."

• I am thankful for duvet covers, I am thankful for crunching leaves. 
• I am thankful for holidays, I am thankful for panda bears.
• I am thankful for storybooks, I am thankful for drama teachers.
• I am thankful for the tetrad of sense and literacy, I am thankful for long hugs.
• I am thankful for long nights.
• I am thankful for sleep, I am thankful for being awake.
• I am thankful for endorphins, I am thankful for dolphins, which kind of sounds like endorphins.
• I am thankful for the thought, now, of tiny tiny dolphins swimming through my bloodstream, making me feel alive.
• I am thankful for boyfriends who want the best for me.
• I am thankful for friends who know the best for me.
• I am thankful for pumpkin pie, like so many of us are.
• I am thankful for dragons, and I am thankful for Adam Pascal.
• I am thankful for White-Out, erasers, crosswords, and the like.
• I am thankful for the elephant in the room who remains just out of sight.
• I wish I had X-Ray vision. So I could stop this foul energy, dirtying our connection.
