Discussion
& tears like rivers sitting before that slideshow right before i sat on that couch beside theresa cos she patted the seat next to her to motion to me to sit down beside her
there are only three people ive ever watched over in slumber on specific days & with consent.
two in person.
so much consent i was able to make a photograph of those two.
& one over video.
so if anyone ever put their faith there otherwise?
wrong address.
including those three.
i am not the night watcher.
that is creeptown usa
get a fucking boundary out here.
be more careful with your wishes out here.
to think love means no
rivers has me baffled
most shallow understanding
ive maybe ever heard
do parents not cry
holding their kid
for the first time
or what
cos i ~have~ been
invited to watch
thru a window
it was covid
the new maternity ward
was on the first floor
i brought two pizza pies
that i left under the
left tire of their car
for when they were
released later that
day
so they had something
good to eat
when they got home
the best pizza in the
county:
bob's
i can tell you
i cried
like rivers
while on the phone
with them
looking thru the glass
at her & her
holding her
theodora
made a whole childrens
book for her waiting for
her
born 4/20
the trees next to me
on either side
were in bloom
what memory of mine is fleeting.
everyone else's memory is not my problem.
literally watched dan's head try to confabulate past dates of what i firmly told him i have documentary proof of.
another reason for photography is the exif data
