EXCERPT: from Ellen Kennedy’s Sometimes My Heart Pushes My Ribs (#1)
Florida
i had a dream last night about your parents and you
in your house in florida
your parents were dancing in the garage
and your mom was singing
and then the radio stopped for no reason
and she screamed ‘no’
and then walked away
your dad was pissed
then you went into your room and your computer had this program that you could make animations with
and you made like 5 videos of your dad
changing from a happy dad
to a pissed dad
then i woke up
your parents were dancing so hard
Longtime readers know that I’m a big fan of Ellen’s. They may even remember that my very first HTMLGiant post was a picture I took of her. Ellen Kennedy’s official book launch is Saturday April 25. I’ll be counting down by posting a daily excerpt from Sometimes My Heart Pushes My Ribs from now until Saturday. I’ll try to post stuff that’s not already available on the web somewhere, but I’m mostly going to just go with my favorites. To keep you busy until tomorrow, here are some links to Ellen Kennedy stuff around the web:
