in response to


interesting is the word of the day. 

they used it as a tag

for me. 

one said it in response to me telling him i had already eaten. 

which is a lie, but he didn't need to know that. 

and the other said it in response to me telling him

about how i spilled water on a table

and dropped beads everywhere. 

which is a painfully embarrassing truth. 

a truth more embarrassing than that? 

i like that they thought that about me. i know i'll never think that about myself.
