We were sleeping in this
new room, quite a bunch of us, and I sat in a broad wooden basket
weave chair, naked but for a pair of small white briefs, with an even
larger flap belly than I'm used to, and with a very big bright orange
shirt draped around the back of the chair and buttoned once in front
of my chest. If I didn't sit in a certain way or slumped too much it
felt a little confining and I worried vaguely that the button would
be torn off. So I tried to button it up entirely, for there is safety
in numbers, even for buttons, because shared strain is lighter
strain, but alas, the shirt was too tautly stretched already and I
couldn't close the it. Why is it even pulled around the back of the
chair, I thought, what a pointless, idiotic thing to do. I proceeded
to take it off and because there was nothing else to cover me with
even this much, and I'd apparently spent the whole night sitting and
reading in that chair anyway - the light had changed, something pale
blue glinted though cracks in the roller blind to my right - I got up
and waded through the clutter and sleeping people into the general
direction of the door. I encountered some dusty hair bundles on the
way that I picked up to throw away.
