Writing on the Wall

Shelly

Words

The area behind my couch isn’t good for anything. It’s a walkway, and the wall is wasted space. So I hung kraft paper on it, to write on. Which I know makes me look crazy, and I am!, but it’s also nice to have a place to write stuff.

If I owned my home, I would probably be one of those people who writes on the walls. But I’m not, so this what I do instead.

I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe

It’s still freezing cold on our floor. Just on our floor. So my solution is to take periodic breaks to walk and warm up. I usually go up to the stacks and do a couple of laps, and when I see interesting graffiti in the study carrels, I take photos. Most of it is penises. Lots and lots and lots of penises. So many, I could do an entire Tumblr of nothing but Penises of the Library. I will spare the world that, though. There are also a lot of frat boys leaving their letters everywhere. I assume they are the penis enthusiasts, as well. And they like to homo-bait each other. Occasionally, though, a small gem can be seen, glittering among the steaming piles of crap. It’s never art, exactly, but it makes a nice change from “Bob has a tiny dick” and “Bill gives blow jobs to [dudes from X frat]” and “[X frat] all have AIDS.”

Oh, the other thing they like to do is mark their territory with “X and Y fucked on this desk.” I didn’t think it was possible for my opinion of frat boys to get any lower. I was WRONG.
