Scantron's Shoebox

Shoeboxes are not sandboxes.

In a sandbox, you create, build up, and destroy. A sandbox is ephemeral, and inevitably sand filters away, one way or another. You wipe yourself off when it gets dark out and go inside for dinner.

With a shoebox, you take the pair of shoes and wear them until they are worn out. A shoebox contains a necessity, or a gift. It contains something you show to others, and wear as a statement of who you are.

This is not a sandbox. It is a shoebox.

blood
one sweetest taste
tongues recoil
they find it wrong
tongues are still alive
human

life
springing from a man's skin
clings to the skin later
nostrils
knows its place and scent
we have human shells

warm
it warms the cold body
the cold grave
dead body
just like the past
can be the now

full
a red way to think
and know again
the brain stays awake
a human brain
human thoughts

drink
drink
drink
drink blood
drink life
be dead and drink life
only you
not a human
not a person
feel what you like
i spit on us
vampires
