Fascinating.

Fascination really. Just

slightly
off-set.

I feel the pain, man. In my teeth.
Sorry, your

drugs
don't help.

It's still there. Just like tomorrow. Which is just like today and every day before and since.

I gave it up, cut it out like wisdom teeth,
impacted.

Bony, even.

Gave you up for why? For fear, man. For the things they said, man.

And for your touch, I would

do it all
again, but different. Preferrably
with you.
