living in a treehouse journal
day #1
built a treehouse
seems sensible
since they're the only ones
who seem to get it
day #2
figured out the whole
going to the bathroom thing
that's not pleasant
day #3
snickers running low
what to do
day #4
someone walked underneath
I hid
like I needed to
how often do people look at trees
day #5
woke up with a squirrel on my toe
showed me how to gather acorns
I'm glad
pinecones unappetizing
day #6
think people starting to wonder
where I went
day #7 part 1
yup, they are
they have search dogs
damn dogs
they should be on my side
day #7 part 2
"sir step away from the tree"
day #7 part 3
ex wife says
"what are you doing up there"
I say
"I think this tree cares for me
more than you ever did"
day #7 part 4
kids say
"daddy, come down from there"
I say
"kids
you can live up here with me
I don't mind
the more monkeys the merrier"
day #7 part 5
the police have grappling hooks
guess this is the end
of tree houses
