“ this . ” she presents to him a glossy page . taken from a magazine , one of the ones from those mystery subscriptions . the kind no one ever paid for but still somehow they manage to find their way rolled up like a fly swatter in your mailbox . joyce didn’t like to throw things away . joyce liked to save things she didn’t want to look at in brown boxes , liked to stack them in high up piles in places out of sight . the attic , the shed . jane found this magazine in a box she labeled a long time ago . ‘ junk mail ’ .
the page , worn and wrinkled , was torn in a fashion that left all sides uneven . the picture was therefore isolated a child’s fort, built slapdash using long pieces of wood . it sat among trees , a blue blanket roof top to offer poor shelter to a boy grinning at a book underneath . “ i want to make this . ” / @claeric
