Hanged"I hung myself today. Hanged? Whatever,the point is I hanged myself today and Im stillhanging.I feel fine. Just bored. I keep hoping thatsomeone will come home and cut me downbut then I keep remembering that if I knewsomeone like that I wouldnt be up here. Bitironic, right? Or is that not ironic? I readsomewhere that, like, anything funny is,in some way, ironic. But I dont know if it'sfunny or not. I dont think my brain ownsfunny, you know?I feel taller. I like that.Ive never been away from my shadow forthis long. It had always clung to my feet,parting momentarily for a quick dive intothe swimming pool. But never for fivehours. I like it. Theres three feet of spacebetween my two and the floor.I wanted something this morning. I may bestuck. But at least Im three feet closer to it.
