I Like Holding Your Hand (Or Whatever)

Half the time I can’t tell if I’m bitter,
Happy or nostalgic when what I’m really trying
To do is cross the finish line. Why haven’t
We talked exactly? I think I forgot,
I mean life gets so drastically dull with
Everything that needs done and then you shut
Down and shut people out, get anxious, but I don’t
Want to wait seven months to talk to you when you’re
Right there. And wow, I forgot how warm you are. I
Think I love you- no, that’s a lie, but I do like you a lot so why,
Why do we do this to ourselves? What exactly is this?
Why get so busy you get sick, then say you let life fall like
Puzzle pieces that get lost under a cheap maroon sofa and you freak
Out because you can’t get it back when
The obvious answer is to just move the stupid sofa, 
We’re stronger than anyone’s willing to give us credit for
We are strong, we are strong
Only we can’t bear to admit it, acknowledge it, live it.
And that’s really why I hate myself on Tuesdays even
When I used to love and stick up for them. Everyone
Has someone, so why can’t we be each other’s?
Just a few fearlessly falling feathers, floating,
Dancing, brushing, hugging, holding. Even on stupid Tuesdays.
So what I’m saying- I mean, what I think I'm saying is
Instead of talking, can I kiss you?

Episode 01- Sibling Aside

This is the story of a man and his roommates- one an amateur magician, one an imaginary gay Welshman, one with the head of a bunny, and twins that used to be a pair of eyes on the wall. All the man wants to do is keep track of what he eats... and maybe gossip a little, too.
