I mean, a body inside a body, we’re all in bodies, sort of, no that’s too Cartesian
Inside/outside bodies doing stuff
I’m watching a 7 week old baby today, and I spilled a little of the milk on myself when I was feeding her, and, like, my friend produced this milk inside her body! And <2 months ago this tiny human was still inside a body too!

Omg just bc you’re “soul searching” doesn’t mean it’s cute to be crying at 1am in a hotel room where you’re sleeping with a coworker
(Let’s be clear this is a second person sentence) (the you here is me) (if she were crying that would be okay maybe a little weird)
body stories 1-4
1. my mom doesn’t remember the time i told her [redacted redacted] but yesterday when i told her i bought new sneakers she said, you have flat feet, i hope they have enough support. i didn’t even know i have flat feet.
2. i squatted and picked up a heavy thing this morning and it gave me like, a literal feeling of euphoria, that never happened before, i mean “exercise” is good for your “brain chemistry” and i believe this it but this, i almost wept, . michael, on that last squat, i said and he got a worried look on his face— it gave me a wave of full body joy. like, i felt ecstatic. oh that’s cool, i thought you were going to say you hurt yourself.
3. last night one of the children started crying in the dark about zombies and i picked him up and his heart was racing so, so fast. why don’t i have one of those, a kid i mean
4. i’m at a conference and i only brought one shoes and one pants and it rained hard so i had to blowdry them in the swank hotel bathroom!

is the anarchy joke a thing you could write a thank you note for

an enchantment, a brood, a brace of babes
an exaltation, a mischief, a nest.

This babe speaks truth
