heart beating out of my chest,
from a text,
and i couldn't breathe.
yet...
it gave me life.

i won't stop.
all of my life.
pretending.

the mornings have been
silent.

and i wonder if it was all a
dream.

all of it.

.ilfy.

.

to: you, love: me.

driving south over the LIE.
i look to the left into the vast emptiness of the 10 lanes.
it sweeps over me like a tidal wave.


simple twist of fate comes on the radio.

and i am still.

starts with "w".

you can learn so much about someone.
by the books they keep.
and display.
and love.

and the cds.
towers of cds.
with a Piebald disclaimer.
out of order.

and how they own.
every single one.
of your favorite movies.
on DVD.

and the lefty guitars.
and the camera's.
from film to digital.
all over the bed.

Wagner.
Ivan.
Gozer.
Suz.

and just.
the fact.
that they.

let me in.
