“All the while I rattled off a long list of curses in the soundproofed room of my mind.”
“I have a list in my head of all the feelings I still want to feel before I die. And you have ticked so many things off that list.”
“When shall I be dead and rid Of all the wrong my father did? How long, how long 'till spade and hearse Put to sleep my mother's curse?”
“I can scratch “scratch myself” off my list of things to do.”
“Fine, but when I get back to my room, I'm adding don't take shit from anyone to the list.”
“My skull is soundproof. And thank God too, or else you’d be able to hear all the horrible things I’m thinking about you. ”
