Dear Separation,
I took the photographs away from the words. I put them in separate corners, and made them face opposite walls. I told them you can live together, but only if you can live apart. It is important to remain yourself.
she said i like the guy who always answers the door. he never asks you what you came to his house for. she said i won’t be much for all this humbert humbert stuff. i’ve never done so much of this. i have to try so hard not to fall in love. i have to concentrate when we kiss. she mouthed the words along to “running up that hill.” that song got scratched into her soul. he’s never heard the song before. but still he gets the metaphor. he knows some people that switched places before. she said i really like the crowds at the really big shows. people touching people that they don’t even know, yo.
– the hold steady – hornets hornets – separation sunday.
But everything is still connected.
We are still addicted.
And the only fix is force.
And the only force is time.
Kindly treat me to the most pleasant fall you can. I know it is going to hurt like summer cemented sidewalks. The only preparation is fear. The only salvation is a disintegrating mind.
Be kind.
