Adventures~With~Gretchen: 5:48 a.m.

Places I have DIXIE written:

the edge of the kitchen counter
the front of the magna doodle, in sharpie
my bookshelf
the counter of the classroom next to hers at school
the fabric-covered wall of my new sewing room
on the underside of the pew at church
the door to Melody and Dixie's room
the door to Charlie's room
Spotnik
Kelcy's forearm
my right hand
On the back of my right calf
Amanda's water bill
Charlie's head
computer monitor
desk
dust on my van window
floor
inside of my Tupperware
Melody's bedsheet
my cousin Michael's paycheck
my sudoku book--one letter per square
the bristles of my paintbrush
on the actual Dixie
outside wall of my mother's 98 year old house
refrigerator
window
