I made a small one room house out of pine wood
and covered all the windows in cilantro. They fit
together like a little jigsaw puzzle and the inside
of the house was very fragrant. A young girl actually
pressed all the cilantro leaves into the windows
but when people came by and complimented me
on my handiwork I said, “Thank you.”
What kind of a monster am I.
