it was hard to convince the hamster community
finally i punched the hamster's lawyer in the face
and that solved things
the interview would happen ten months from now
ten months later, we were there,
the president stood to my left
and patted my shoulder
i looked at the hamster professionally
'why are you a hamster?' i said
the hamster's face reddened
i felt ashamed
it was over
my life was over
i went home and hid in the closet
after a while i left the closet
it was only ten in the morning
my life wasn't over, after all
i made toast
i carried the toast to the living room
i carried the toast to the kitchen
the kitchen carried me and the toast to the living room
and the living room shrank to the size of a walnut
and the walnut laughed
