I tried on the darker Christian Dior blazer and asked the salesman if it was a bit narrow. They replied that, “The width of all things depend on the sun.” I nodded knowingly and then stopped cold. It couldn’t be them.
There is a person I have met throughout my life. They appear to me in auspicious moments. They look normal at a glance but if you look closer they begin to warp your entire reality. They’re not quite human they are strange and they have odd powers. Sometimes they are like weather other times, numerous and small. Like miniature spirit cattle feeding on the walls and ceiling of my office building. Sometimes they are massive things that cannot possibly fit into my house and yet they come barging in anyway. Skewering my sense of perspective and smashing it upon the rocks. Other times they just takes me for ice cream and maybe some shoes.
Whatever the case its as if I’m sitting at the end of the models runway. I hear the music and the flash bulbs popping, but I never know whats coming through the curtain next. An animal that insults my heart? Or a quiet bedlam of startling bliss.
I will look at this being and my life will be forever changed.
