How exciting.

There are fones that fold fand phlip.

It’s remarkably foolish

And?

New and improved?

We fall for it every time

As a child?

My father brought canned bread home from the grocery store.

Canned bread.

Why the hell would he have done that?

It had a sticker on it that said ‘new and improved’

New and improved!

New and improved?

I’m done with new and improved.

What am I looking for?

How about absurd and playful?


One Derful Thing

Here’s an absurd game.

Find times today to perform a silent scream.

Scream without making a sound.

Involve your whole body in the act of screaming.

Scream ugly.

Then?

Find some friends whether in person or over a video call. Send them messages.

Conspire together without telling the host.

Then? Send a signal to the group.

Scream together.

Report back how it went.

Silent screams keep me going. I usually keep them selfishly to myself.
