What is the Color that Started the World
I. Last Year
The cysts are benign. And that is good. A man fingers loose change in his pocket to buy a cup of coffee. Nearby, a boy is told he’s “too obvious” by a stranger who’s licking the tip of his canine tooth.
II. This Year
On Christie and Rivington you talk to Walter, who asks where you live, what you do. Even though you can’t understand what he’s saying, he’s the resident that emits the most joy, always smiling, starting every sentence with your name.
You help Jessie make a collage from old magazines and try not to stare at the IV taped to her right arm. She’s talented. She has the demeanor of a young girl, from her singsong voice down to her sparkly hair barrettes.
Finally, a woman in a wheelchair who can’t speak at all. Whose name you’ll never know. You help her color by unscrewing the caps of markers and holding up a piece of paper. When she rests, you make her origami—flapping birds with wings, a fortune teller with nothing written inside.

I started a new blog dedicated to my wonderful friend Trang: www.textsfromtrang.tumblr.com.
If you don’t know Trang, I’m really sorry. You’re missing out. If you’d like to contribute, let me know. We need to share the wealth that is Trang.
Trang is my roommate. I will absolutely be contributing to this gem.
