WE MAKE

Joshua Kornreich

 

Amy makes, Eddie makes, Stacey makes, Tracey makes, and Katie makes.

Steven makes phone calls, Tony makes dinner, Jeffrey makes cars, Stan makes a shitload of money, while Barbara barely gets by.

Bill makes a fuss, Jerry makes a mess, Ann makes a mountain out of a mole hill, Stan makes an ass of himself, and Joey makes a Mother’s Day card for his mother who’s not really his mother.

Raymond make babies with Andrea, Andrea makes babies with Derek, Derek makes babies with Susan, Susan makes babies with Sal, Sal makes babies with Linda, and Linda makes babies with a stranger.

Lisa makes mistakes, but Liza makes even more mistakes than Lisa.

Reggie makes pizza.

Beth makes Phil hard, Phil makes Frank hard, Frank makes it hard for everyone, but Adam makes the most out of the situation, Veronica makes the least out of the situation, Jack doesn’t make anything out of the situation, Jack doesn’t make Jack-squat, Jack doesn’t make Jack-shit, but Jack does make out with Susan, Susan makes out with Richard, Richard makes out with Dan, Dan makes out with Christie, Christie makes out with Jessica, Jessica makes out with Bob, while Wendy makes it big, Margaret makes it small, Nancy makes it right, Simon makes it wrong, Dwight makes it long, and Ashley makes a hit song.

Leslie makes up with Larry, Larry makes up with Harry, Harry makes up with Henry, Henry makes up with Fran, Fran makes up with Fred, Fred makes up with Molly, and Molly makes up with God.

I make up stories.

Bonnie makes a doodie, then Tommy makes a doodie, and then Timmy makes a doodie on top of Tommy’s doodie and then Tina makes a doodie on top of Timmy’s doodie, and then a bird makes a doodie on top of Tina’s head.

Dina’s son makes sand castles, Dana’s son makes paper airplanes, and Dara’s son makes farts with his armpits.

Gwyneth makes Cathy vomit, Cathy makes Betsy vomit, Betsy makes herself vomit, Erica makes herself vomit, Allison makes herself vomit, Donna’s vomit makes Alan vomit, Alan’s vomit makes Mark vomit, Mark’s vomit makes Marvin vomit, Marvin’s vomit makes the room stink, the dog makes the room stink, the cat makes the room stink, my feet make the room stink, my breath makes the room stink, my not showering in five days makes the room stink, but my stink makes the room come alive, and Diane makes the room come alive, and Roger makes the room come alive, and Rachel makes Donald come alive, and Lynn makes Sam come, and Jill makes George come, and George makes Peter come, and Peter makes himself come quite often, and David makes himself come on occasion, and Oliver makes himself come when no one is looking, and Jim makes himself come when everyone is looking, and I make myself come when you are looking, and you make yourself come when I am looking, and then we make each other come when just the stars in the sky are looking.

Then morning comes, and you make yourself disappear, and that makes me quite sad.
