[the Writing of Kuypers] [JanetKuypers.com] [Bio] [Poems] [Prose]
Once i was sitting in the living room, i just got home from school, and I said i need to go wash my hands. so I walked upstairs, went over to the kitchen sink. mom, sitting in the living room, didn’t mention that the sink was half-full of raw squid for her dinner. I shriek. mom laughs. “are their beady little eyes looking up at you?” she asked. the little devil. i’m upstairs, in the kitchen, shrieking, and she’s laughing.
