Today I wrote about the school of leg hair. You have to have 4 inch long leg hair to be accepted. During the day, you and your peers work on braiding your leg hairs together. You and they eventually become a knot. This is actually beneficial because that way you will have to do less walking around the town, which you know, is just really tiring and not even worth the energy expense. You graduate when your hairs are no longer a knot but actually grow from your pores to another's pores. This way you are truly connected. It is kind of like nirvana. Many people who graduate from the school go into isolation in small icelandic villages in order to protect their connecting leg hair, as one small snip from the scissors or a misstep around the door could snap it in half, sending you back to the very beginning. Actually, the school won't even accept you again because your leg hairs are too long and you are too old and your leg hairs are now protein deficient, incapable of connecting again. You look at your arms.
