Napowrimo day 9: size matters

"I am on the bus and thinking of you."

There's a game I play with kids sometimes when I teach.
We have an inflatable beach ball with a print of the earth on it.
We toss the ball at the kids and when they catch it we ask
"Is your thumb mostly on water, or on land?" And,
Because the earth is about 70% water, the kids answer water more often then they answer land.
You do the math.

Now, let's play pretend for a minute. Let's pretend that my brain is the ball and the water is all the times I'm thing of you.
And every hour, on the hour I toss you my brain so that you can see
How many seconds in every day I'm thinking about you.
And missing you. And wishing you were here.
Thinking about how my lips feel on your neck and how your fingers feel in side of me.
Which, obviously, I wouldn't teach to children.
