Even-ing and his response:
"I am dating him right now,"
little vortex of my heart
stops; does not start again
bland smile; "Why? What
do you know that I don't?"
The hearty width and
breadth of what I don't. of
what I don't. Childhood
endearing and wistful or
missing; creepy. Bitumen
wax, easing the echelon
over the other echelon.
