THIN GOD
Thin God slipped into the crack in my eyelid, and that was how I came to know my mother.
Thin God promised me more time, but I knew Thin God always lied in the morning. Thin God convinced the aliens to cleave a cloud into a boy
and a girl. Instead, the aliens created a comedian and a bird. Thin God ate the aliens and gave me a baby. Thin God told me my story had a twist ending, but by the time I fell asleep with the baby in my arms, I forgot I was in a story at all.

I think the very idea of a “Great American Novel” is kinda dumb. In the parlance of Tacoma, or of Kevin via Tacoma, I kinda think Great American Novels “aren’t real.” That said, I have an ego. I have ambitions. I’m mostly a happy-go-lucky dork doofusing his way through life and writing, but I also want to have as many readers as possible, I want people to think highly of my writing, I want to be someone’s (many someone’s, ideally!) favorite writer, I want people to think the writing is “great.” I don’t normally wrestle with those contradictions that much irl, but I think it often then ends up on the page.
