blue bow ties and a pink nose

Sentimentality gets in the way of, well, it just gets in the way. It makes you hoard things because there's sentimentality attached to them, because they remind you of white-walled apartments and beige carpets, and of times even before then, times where you have to rely on photographs to even convince yourself that you've lived through them. Back then I still threw up on airplanes. You want to throw things out, clear out some space, give yourself a little breathing room-- but you have nothing left that you can bear to part with. A white bunny, wider than he is tall, in a blue get up with white polka dots and a hat to match and this giant, I guess, it's a rat, in the same overall-suspenders attire but this time with a flower pattern, both a little scratched up and stained and some of the fluff has lost its fluff but still. I bet pack rats are all overly-sentimental people.
