An Aside: Curation

Herr Doktor,

     I want to siphon this anxiety from my body and bottle it up. I want to place it somewhere forgettable and shove it away like a half-finished poem. I want to find it crumpled in the corner several years down the road and think, “huh, I’d forgotten about this one.” And then I want to be able to throw it away like it never happened.

Sincerely,
An entire generation
of mutants and half-humans
