hello, there.

i see this going one of two ways.

one.

we embrace this. we go for it.
we fall madly in love. marriage. babies.
retirement. i'm not so sure about
the white picket fence. i'm cool with the dog, but
i've never seen much use for half a child – let's round
up to three. we would find a little place
in the mountains, or by the beach.
at any rate, we would write each other
love notes that would make the kids sick.
i'd like that. and footrubs. date nights. 
and most nights we would stay in.

or. two.

we embrace this. we go for it.
we fall madly in love. marriage. babies.
but things get a little weird when
you start asking jimmy-the-pool-guy
to give it an extra good clean while the kids
experiment with lsd and pcp and crack and
we become grandparents at far too young
an age and you keep telling me to fix the 
sink and the shower and there's a leak in
the roof and one thing after another and
i collapse into myself like a dying star.

so.

do you want to get coffee?
