Calisthenics, Week 10

Character Development:


Asparagus

1.  I think sometimes, when you smile, you hate me.
2. The way others would see your asparagus-colored eyes glitter with enthusiasm, I see the spark of fiendish malady.
3. I know this becasue your left eye goes crooked (like one of those glue-on googly eyes you get at craft stores) when you look at me; like there is so much power processing inside your brain that you can only focus one eye at a time.
4. Your laugh is as commanding as as witches cackle.
5. Whn no one is looking, though, you retreat into a world of little girls who sit on the curb making mudpies, collecting spiders and talking ot the other characters in your head that understand you much better than I ever can.
6. You are a chameleon of temperment.
7. I watch through the second story window as you bounce around, pigtails flapping, lifting your shirt up to show the boys how you are all the same.
8. Instead, I wish to show you how rermarkeable you are.
9. You bend down, pick up a hairy caterpiller, and place it on a stick - chasing the new girl on the block around the parking lot, delighting in her shrieks.
