Mattress Log
Like a document
Kinda like the one I did in class with the weird pictures well anyway list the dates since you
didn’t write it all down
You should have
Maybe start writing it down
Uhhhhhh make sure to talk about the dates, and what’s there, and what happened well
Let’s just go backwards.
Today you washed the sheet
Today is like what? April 26th?
Idk 2017
You had to wash the sheet because it was getting dirty
and the garbage truck ran into the mattress and got the side of the sheets dirty
super dirty from the side of the garbage truck
in the log the garbage truck leaving and passing it up
maybe put in a poem
that weird stalker poem
from the fact that he followed you.
Did I just call the police on myself?
And then the spraypaint and the weirdness and put in that weird mytonomy Metonymy poem
the one where you’re just like
naming words
and maybe put in some pictures
maybe
make it into a pdf… umm
uhhh
yeah.
Don’t make it too complicated.
Just be the mattress log uhhhh
I just like the idea of the poem and putting in the idea
the fact that I called the police on myself I mean
the stalker bit
I mean cos it’s real and now I have a stalker
and the mattress
and the glass
and then I moved the glass from the table and then it’s
on the mattress… and then
all of this.
It all goes in there and uh
Yeah
Okay.
Why is this person in the street?
I will
Yoga?
high
I do not have time for this
Okay.

I should drag this mattress out to the good side and see what happens.
March 11th
Old dirty mattresses have bedbugs. Do not touch.
February 9th
I’m going to have to touch the mattress.

Sometimes I’m not so nice
April 11th
I think I have a stalker wow.
Hey mom
I wanna tell you something.
You are the nicest person
in the world.
March 24th
I never knew what it felt like to have a real live stalker. Like irl. It kinda sucks. I text Cheryl
and tell her if I see him I’m going to eat his face off. Which is true… but what about sleeping?
That’s the only thing… such a disadvantage when you sleep, like anybody can creep up on you
fuck. What to do? What did the cowboys do? In the movies when they slept by the fire or
under a tree or something they would pull their dusty cap down over their eyes. Guess they
were hardcore. I get that. Being a cowboy and all- and you know- they say you’re not
supposed to acknowledge your new unshakeable friend you’re supposed to just ignore and
disengage but I say what about engaging just once to say I’m going to murder you. Doesn’t
that help? I think so. Then for the ignoring.
I can do that part. I’m pretty good at it, too. Also, going along with my life. I learned it from
the French. Oh? Someone’s trying to murder me? Hmm is there any chocolat in the middle
of that croissant? I’ll take that one please hmmm I’m singing a little ditty in my head and not
even whistling in the dark. When this life is over a new life starts. Am I scared of you- no.
Ha.

March 4th
You can imagine figures like Hegel
Marx
Freud
Heidegger
Maybe not Mead (…but why not, he could’ve)
Derrida
…Why’d he have to write it like that?
is he talking bout ghosts?
oh. Sounded like ghosts.
Why’d he have to say it like that?
January 16th
Pretty funny.
February 6th
milieu of that croissant
Quantum physics
April 17th
I think I called the police on myself.
April 18th
Now that’s funny. I mean, I finally called the police for the “anonymous prowler” in the
neighborhood leaving pieces of glass similar to my glass on my site specific but then I
thought about 2am and the spraypaint and the dark clothes and now I can’t paint my
mattress anymore.
April 7th
the ghost-like way freud continues to haunt us
March 15th
I mean, I may be paranoid. True, I enjoy the good mystery and even like creating some and
reading my friends mystery story blogs… but what if stalker started a blog and I’ve been
thinking it’s my old friend but really its not messing with my head and that would be crazy
like a movie. But I know I’m not crazy. confusing
April 11th
It’s still there
April 3rd
I must be crazy. No, it’s crazy-making. Can someone intercept your texts and make it seem
like your texting people or other people are sending you ghost texts? Has that ever
happened? How long
April 18th
really want to paint mattress but I think the neighbors would think I’m weird. I have to do it
at night.
February 15th
What can you do to a mattress?
That doesn’t sound so academic
April 8th
Is it art? …balloons on the mattress?
March 20th
quickest, easiest way to attach balloons to a mattress. Texted Cheryl and she said safety
pins.
April 17th
Balloons still there
February 27th
paint on it
March 11th
guest speaker in class said a homeless person wouldn’t look at mattress like art. Would
see it as a strange thing to do.
I don’t think so.
February 14th
March 2 nd
My teacher doesn’t like my mattress.
April 14th
We should put a sheet on it.
April 15th
A fitted sheet.
March 19th
If he’s following me irl then he might be reading my work
March 29th
April 22nd
Hello.
February 19th
I hope it’s still there today.
I hope it’s still there today
April 21st
I’ve learned how to be non-plussed. I mean,

great. Thanks.
April 22nd
I’m still going to eat your face off if I see you tho
February 2nd
