A simple Jean Jacket says hey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cuts in his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a plush pink curved scar road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hot pink chemical twang\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
permeable pool of plasma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blame agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pried apart by unrelenting\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
hearts of men hardened by indifference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where he dissolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A boulder, even a mountain, will wear down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caving beneath unbearable weight\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the world will break all your blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
