Crumbs; otherwise empty.

Sometimes I wish to fold my body into the shape of a thimble and stash myself inside.

Neural ontology error.
We talked through the majority of the concert. Remembering that everyone will see a single color differently, we tried to describe what static sounds like to each of us.
The deep rush of a river spilling over.

Thirteen cans in a plastic bag.

An aesthetician stripping the hair from your arms.
The singer looks up to see the crowd has thinned. The band moves on to the next song.

When my headlights hit her taillights, the dinosaur flew off the dashboard and into my lap.

This is one way I am like my mother: I believe in good luck charms.

It was my fault. A simple miscalculation.

I stuffed the dinosaur into my purse, where it stayed while my car underwent repairs. During those two weeks, I came to believe that without it, the crash would have been much worse. Every so often I'd reach into my bag to rub its rubber bumps, thanking it that no one was harmed.

When the string around my neck burst, two hundred and thirty eight beads went flying. I found twenty four on the floor and two pressed into the bottom of my foot.

Associative memory not found.
Two ways in which I am like my mother: I am forgetful; I believe in signs. When I finally remember that I've left my phone in the inner right pocket, I find it displaying angel numbers.

After six months of daily use I could feel my body's oils smoothed into the leather's fine wrinkles.

Once, on vacation, I purchased this medium-sized deer hoof at a tourist trap called Western Trading Post.

When the TSA agent searched my bag in Phoenix he said he’d seen worse—a whole human torso just months before.

The hoof was so well preserved. He needed to hold it, needed to know it was no longer living

Things want to decompose but can't.

Polymers become monomers become bisphenol, styrene, phthalates, accumulating in body pouches.
