let the sky rain potatoes

i wish i were six; when my biggest worry was whether Cornelia the teacher's daughter would throw my shoes up in the tree again. or whether i'd be able to get the chair with the arm-rests before she beat me to it. today my biggest worry is... oh where do i begin? i absolutely dread receiving mail... where my six-year-old self would be so excited to see grown-up looking envelopes with her grown-up looking name printed on them greeting her at the door every day, my twenty five-year-old self wishes she could throw them into the fire and forget about them forever and ever because each one says the same: payment now due. i wish i could shove anxiety under the bed and let tomorrow worry about itself but how can i when tomorrow threatens suspension and court action and hot needles dipped in wax pushed slowly into the soles of my feet? okay maybe not so much the last one. God i hate being an adult.
