Where the Wild Things Are.

“Children are tough, though we tend to think of them as fragile. They have to be tough. Childhood is not easy. We sentimentalize children, but they know what’s real and what’s not. They understand metaphor and symbol. If children are different from us, they are more spontaneous. Grown-up lives have become overlaid with dross.”  - Maurice Sendak

Lying in an empty road

I split it in two

And placed the pieces side by side.

Channeling my inner Ms. Frizzle with some sexual health nails.  Left hand: HPV, syphilis, gonorrhea, HIV, and chlamydia (inclusion bodies in cells).  Right hand: condoms.  Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone.
