A teacher gives me stones. I am supposed to make a game with them. As she leaves and I want to touch her hand briefly. I take my guitar and play a song by Nick Cave. There are three chords. I strum the strings with my fingernails. Then I take the stones and line them up. I wonder if I can make paint out of the stones.

If you get the same number, you can take a stone away. I make my bed on the floor and cover it with two rugs. One of them is torn. I tidy everything up. The teacher thinks it's cute.

Two things, someone says that someone else can take it away. Nola does it.
