The bog crickets were doing a raspy ventriloquy of the stars.
You know nothing about her.
Do something crazy, stupid … .
Once he had a car, it would be no great challenge to sleep with a girl or a woman.
It’s unlikely that you’ve ever visited.
He had celery-green eyes.
It’s easy to let that happen.
Everything dissolves like sugar in water.
From inside the box, she screams.
I thought maybe it was him.
Was that too much?
I might know something.
Everything is far from here.
What if memory fails?
Flyers taped to the painted cinder-block walls.
She wants to believe that’s true.
She has arrived, at least.
We’ll sleep, I said again.
The same song was still playing.
I need to slow down.
I was as happy in that moment as I had ever been.
It was terrible wine but it didn’t matter.
We were on a narrow street in the city center.
I just want to remember this forever.
Keep going. And watch your step.
Terrible, in fact.
A hard wind was blowing.
She smiled nervously and made no reply.
Okay, you had your chance.
Tell me what you think it means.
I might not have noticed.
I guess it’s true what they say, that no person is an island.
Life goes on, and so do you.

Everybody wins.

It’s not that simple, obviously.
So yes, the adult brain can change.
Freedom and independence, yay!
A grown-up approach to happiness.
Maybe you should learn some self-control?
We all mature in our own way and at different rates.
I’m staying in to read a book!
I’m afraid there’s no easy answer here.
There are many ways in which we can be made happy.
Funny how things turn out.
It takes your system a while to return to normal.
And once again, this got me to thinking.
