that it ever really happened
is a matter of interpretation

the thingness of things

can we make this work

when we meet
i was young 
you were my first adventure

on bad days
everyone would be falling down drunk
vomiting chicken wings

there is a joy from
understanding the world as a work of art

could he live any other way 
no
i don't think so

filled with such intense emotion
again
its not something that i need right now

careful
can you follow the acceptable rules of behavior

intimidation and bribery
a lawyering of sorts
