The Last of Us Still Live
For awhile the discussion at dinner was about urine,
not a search for truth but rather a test of exterior reserve
they’d start up again. She still didn’t know much about
putting out fire with gasoline;
it was flipping around like crazy. I'd never
discuss their feelings as if they were great works
so bad at kissing. It seemed awful, yet somehow it
wouldn't believe what I've been through,
hacking and spitting, and took off into the
past, apparently, and now he could only
whine, and she wished there were a way
an ageless heart that can never mend
would turn out to be the particular
closeness as the lines fuzzed between
the top of the hierarchy back home in
the blinds and change their minds.
