i found myself standing on the deck, sails of black billowing in the zephyr above my head, dagger and sword drawn tempting my murderous assailants for a final embrace. tremors curse through my muscles making my appearance that of the last fall leaf fighting the fall wind. my former brothers before me, they perform their greek play. the following three words i spoke rattled every tooth and every sail on the vessel; that fact being more important to know than what those three words were.

everyone knows that last leaf will fall.

i can watch scenes dropping through chapter after chapter. they fall in complete seamlessness. different actors utter the same lines. danielles a skeptic, but then again, maybe shes right. doctor murphy tells me that the book is killing me. its killing me and its killing everyone close to me, that is, if you are close enough to hear me whisper the title. nobody told me about the justice system. nobody had ever taught me about accounts payable and so my standardized tests are the bastardized byproduct of pedestals and unobtainable goals. we all get a little better but we all stay the same. wish i could finish this book. wish i could build a covered bridge to break away. IOU's? i can count quite a few. but how shall i deal them and with what intensity to who? i can hold myself but i cannot hold anyone else. this sides all sleeping and that sides all shaving and i'm all alone carving "stop" in the pavement. then she reads me my rights and i guess it all makes sense by not making sense. there are worse things to suffer. sorry about the eggs. i've made a mess. i am behind.
