The thing you said was dead is not dead. No virgin deservesa cigarette. We should head to the emergency roomand just pop our heads in and say hello. Tell them we are alright so they dont think we only visit whenthings are bad. We are breathing without tubes today.They dont make pills yet for this feeling. Its like findingfruit in the snow. I want to call down cocktails and black tirejacks from the heavens. I want to break into something.That kind of good. Your eyes are the kind we have all been waiting for. When I hear a single note sustain in a roomwith bad lighting, I think of us.Both of our bodies, shivering. Details ISBN1935904655 Author Derrick C.
