Meanwhile, I Keep Dancing

Day 2: April 19 th 2017 This word was discovered today in The Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery Locks Bound head to foot in a coil of my own making often flailing against the bars of a cage made of the daily mundane sometimes I pause, breathless consider rather than tearing out my nails and beating the bars til I bleed if only by stretching my arm around to the back of my hair I'll find a bobby pin, perfectly slim and subtle to pick the lock to freedom

I have been Desiring and Coveting this item for some time now. Can you guess what it is? A fire pit!  I am burning (ha, pun) with desire for a fire pit of my own! Sadly, because of my renting situation, I cannot put one in (unless I am very sly with an old wok and some bricks). Really, though, I want this time at college to not end. I want to stay in my mid twenties, hanging round a campfire at night with my friends drinking a beer or eating a hot dog, wrapped up in blankets and just watching the fire. I want to capture it in a glass bottle and hold onto it, a happy moment, a fleeting memory for when I'm old. Dear Santa...
