Thought this was going to be a poem
"I dont see you there, hiding in my pocket.
Scrunched, crunched, pushed deep inside.
Waiting, waiting, hiding, hiding.
Missed by the searching hand, now spinning, faster, faster
So wet, so wet now, coming apart, sodden, free
wheeeeeeeeeeeee! Everywhere now
What freedom, dandruff for the clothes
Curses! Tissues in the washing machine!!!"

You should see her room. I can no longer bear to enter.
