“She took a knife for me.”
I was passing by and saw him. He was sitting where he had sat all day, doing his thing. He was too drunk to recognize me again. The last time he was like this, his heart was twisting again because of her – she was always a complication. I asked him how he was doing.
“She broke her back.” He said with despairing eyes.
“What? How?” I wasn’t expecting that.
“She fell 15 feet. Broke her back! She’s in the hospital now. I have to go to Austin and take care of her.” He started weeping. “Fuck! I was headed north! I was on my my way. Now I’ll have to push her around in a wheel chair. Probably for two months, or longer? While she’s screaming at me! Fuck! I was about leave! Going north, man!”

What Makes The Heart?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Silence makes the heart go wander
Distance makes the heart grow harder
Laughter makes the heart grow stronger

What’s next after a powder state?
Ground down to the silicate?
Too crushed to calculate
