the abortion

August 22, 2016 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

When you’re the first procedure of the day you get the waiting room to yourself. It was a square room, warm and dimly lit. Three of the walls were lined with chairs with disposable napkin type things on the seats. When you enter the room you’re already in your hospital gown and well, commercial fabrics do clean up well but maybe not that well… The last wall was for a projector screen. There was a laminated sheet on the coffee table […]

i understand where you are…sort of…pt 1

August 22, 2016 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

Bubba forbade many things throughout the course of our relationship: Marriage. Children. Motivation. Desire. Only black suits, white dress shirts, and offensive jokes were allowed. The cops could come and search our place, too — that was alright. Picture our relationship like this for 15 years. Get comfy with it. Let it be your father holding you. Let it be a memory of your favorite Easter basket. Let it be your personal life that was half your life. Then let […]

i wish i knew more without having to find out

August 22, 2016 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

I had only met her once before — it was at Housepitality to pick up my ticket. Now she was in my passenger seat for 3 hours, one of which was spent describing her breakup in full detail and how she wasn’t looking forward to seeing her ex. Her then ex is basically my now ex — and we haven’t even started dating. I’ve tried on countless occasions to bring this conversation back to my memory. My memory used to […]

when you smile

July 28, 2016 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

  and it’s not with me it reinforces that it’s not with me and I become more and more comfortable with not being the one and it doesn’t feel 100% right but it doesn’t feel 100% wrong either but it feels not right enough that I need a distraction. Describe the forest: Daniel will. “You’ll end making the Forrest scream of quiet creeks and bashful knocks of oak branches. Screams of squirrels ecstatic at the trove of nuts. Caterpillars defying the resistance […]

spin a globe not because you want to travel or understand geography but because your fingertips need relief.

i’m surprised you didn’t ask me whose car it is

March 25, 2016 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

“Are you okay?” “Yeah, yeah. I did a lot of walking on my heel, to keep pressure off my toe. It feels pretty good.” “No, but really….are you okay?” “Yeah.” When something that was once strong becomes weak, then strong again, it creates both a curiosity and confidence that makes you want to put this once strong, then weak, then strong again thing under an enormous amount of pressure and stress — well, how strong is it REALLY? And it […]

things I’ll never have to explain

May 30, 2015 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

Robert and I are such jokesters that I often wonder what we would be like as parents. In the early years of our relationship, we babysat my three cousins, and I thought we did really well, particularly in high stress situations — like with fixing a head that had just smashed down onto concrete — but when it came to answering questions, we only filled their brains with lies. Today during my drive home, I thought about how I would realistically respond  […]

things drunk people tell me about me

May 16, 2015 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

You’re the sexiest person I know…99% percent sure, anyway. What does it take for you to tell someone what you want? You’re exactly what I want to see. Before I even see you I have a vision of what I want to see and you’re always it. When I’m not at 100%, I know I can call you and you’ll bring me to my 100%. You’re brilliant. I don’t even know why you’re here with me right now. I’m just […]

“You’re brilliant. I wonder why you even want me.” *** I tell myself similar things often. I’m surrounded by real people with definitive personalities who stand for things, who are smart, passionate, and creative, and I wonder why they even give me the time of day sometimes. All I talk about is love, hair, not doing drugs, and lingerie. Don’t I get boring? But as often as I think I’m not worth the time, I’d never share that with anyone. But he […]

Your question. I have a small journal, half filled by him, and I am to fill the other half. That’s how it went. He is a relentless creative. He’s the closest I’ve come to experiencing otherworldliness; I feel blessed to know him. He’s in a deep, dark, transitional place in life where he’s not the most enthusiastic about being social, and once learning that I felt even more blessed. There’s no one in my life who I am able to hold and just […]
