“And God,

please let the deer on the highway

get some kind of heaven.

Something with tall soft grass and sweet reunion.

Let the moths in porch lights go some place with a thousand suns, that taste like sugar and get swallowed whole.

May the mice in oil and glue have forever dry, warm fur and full bellies.

If I am killed

for simply living, let death be kinder than man.”

"have you ever been with a girl?" he asks me.

no. ive thought about kissing her a hundred times, she laid in bed next to me and my skin itched. alcohol in my blood corroded and cleansed my veins, drove me towards her. but we never did. we never have, i have danced on the edge of action with her so many times. i think its possible to love a girl too much to kiss her.

"have you ever been with a girl?" he asks me.

"yeah" i reply.

"that's hot."

What Lesbians Do In Bed

“Redesign the dachshund (six legs), Have a fat belly competition

(Hers won, in spite of my sometime lodger), Visit Africa in the atlas (Tanzania in particular - the one-time home of a friend)

Research tides and the phases of the moon In the encyclopaedia, Do the crossword

In berween passion and lust (which were quite nice)

Redraw the edge of things;

Since our reality Is no longer theirs, We must establish Our own.”

-SUSAN MATASOVSKA

"Do it for her"

If I don't work, she doesn't get taken care of. All of her dreams and goals will crash against the rocks of poverty. She'll have nowhere to come back to if something goes wrong and she needs a place to catch her breath. Without my FT job, she won't have free-to-her health insurance until she turns 26. No 401(k), no trips to Disneyworld, no boy-band concerts. We'll find time to hang out. Eat dinner at the table together, weekend trips to the park, go see the latest movie - until she's embarrassed of us so we take her & friends. I'll happily sacrifice time away from her so she can have the best life possible.

Oh yeah.

 And the boy too I guess.
