So what now? That’s it?
The anticipation, the lead-up-to insignificant banter…
Why this time is it so hard to wall off?
Rampant fantasies unbalancing years of hard work toward a secure illusion
Drink it in, drink, drink, feel it all the way down
Down the spine
Ingraining itself in long filthy toenails, beds of secrets
Stare straight at it, suck on it
Bite down and shake with all humanity
