Cadence

{Plop}

Remember our last meeting?

Formal and scripted.

Primped and pressed.

{Plop}

Cleaner than either of us had been in years.

Powdered, polished...

Quasi-vibrant glow in blurry fog drenched dawn.

{Plop}

No trace of bruises, track marks, tweaker scabs.

Evidence covered, discarded, or disposed of.

Delusions of fleeting beauty.

{Plop}

A study in solitary grace and poise.

Healthier than you'd looked in years.

Gazing sightlessly through frosted glass...




Comin' up sober on the bad time of year.

Time to find out how badly I can fuck this up.
