one, two, three
he pulled away
"I'd kiss you more but my breath—"
sky lit with lightning
say goodbye, turn away, walk down 35th
alone
it's 3:42 ante meridian
phone's almost dead
thunder rumbles
get to river
tired, walked 20 blocks
check your pocket, left your wallet
back in that crack house
your permit
it wasn't worth it, just to screw
he said it wouldn't be
cross the river, street lights everywhere
hit the water in ripples
truck passes, the one you saw on the way
close to home, thinking about
existential things like god and why he'd care about you
it starts raining, a good ten minutes to go
sore everywhere, dark everywhere, wet everywhere
you just want your mom
and then the bolt falls from the sky and you feel
the most glorious pain, relieved it's all over on your hillside

an alternative ending to my life
