In The Beginning, When I Was Trying

Happiness. It Comes On Unexpectedly. And Goes Beyond, Really, Any Early Morning Talk About It.

I Dressed And Went For A Walk - Determined Not To Return Until I Took In What Nature Had To Offer.

I Loved You So Much Once. I Did. More Than Anything In The Whole Wide World. Imagine That. What A Laugh That Is Now. Can You Believe It? We Were So Intimate Once Upon A Time I Can't Believe It Now. The Memory Of Being That Intimate With Somebody. We Were So Intimate I Could Puke. I Can't Imagine Ever Being That Intimate With Somebody Else. I Haven't Been.

And Did You Get What You Wanted From This Life Even So? I Did.

There Is No God, And Conversation Is A Dying Art.
