One morning she decided to throw away the paper & listen to the real news & by the end of the day, she knew that while people were sometimes confused, the rest of the world was not & she slept that night for the first time since she was a young girl.
I used to be pretty clear on what was real & what I made up, but with everything going on in the world, none of that seems to matter, so I just decided to talk less & smile to myself more, so as not to add to the general confusion
Why is the world so confusing? he said & I said it’s only confusing if you believe it has to make sense & he looked at me & shook his head. I can’t believe they let just anyone have children, he said.
