your forehead
airplane angry baby
naked gardener
broken break up ceramics
recycled trash fiction
empty wine bottle
the crane we didn’t know what it was
allergic runny eyes
questionable stain on a trench coat
stolen gem ring at the gym
salmonella
dead deer by the side of the road
that dream about that jerk boy
a parent looking through a peep hole
a malfunctioning lawnmower in a movie
too much dog hair on odd items
receiving someone else’s checks in the mail
wanting sex when your partner doesn’t
