Gratiela Brancusi Instagram – I threw my Dunning in front of my Kruger towards my apartment, stepping on uneven tiles, guilt, and fear of other people’s greed overcoming mine. And dog pee. Everyone always says “you can do anything”. Surely no one will be upset. I’m simply rising up to the expectations. Finally home, I poured the ocean right where my carpet would be if I hadn’t forgotten it at the cleaners. Where you can still see the discolored rectangle never available to the sun and the ocasional spills. I filled the edges first, like it were a puzzle. By the time I was done, there was nothing left in the ladle but a few bandaids of dough like the ones left on the walls of my mom’s enamel bowl, right after she was done transferring the apple cake into the oven. Using the original kitchen instrument, my right index finger, I scraped those walls clean of my favorite part of every single one of her cakes, a mouthful of soft my mom said will breed frogs in my little belly. And when the ladle was clean, I ate off the floor. I ate it all. And that day became the day I ate the ocean. The doughy sweet and sour taste of 20 something years ago. If you missed it too, next time I see you, I’ll open my mouth and let you listen to it. (2/2)
