low place like home

by glass-can

grown too big for my britches, I run my fat, fat mouth until I look like a fool--a happy one. flirting up a storm with his friends, antagonizing my brother, my friend, until she yells, and he kicks my ass. I went for a hug, and he kicked my ass (!) physically pinning me, I can't move I rolled him over once, at least I got that, and he later apologized for be a jerk. I mean, he's got three inches fifty pounds of muscle, and actual fighting training on me How long could I really last? I am a woman, I am weaker. Kate told me that in Nepal, the men backhand the women and children, very easily, and she was backhanded for not remembering how to say her name in Nepallian. That must feel awful, to have a feeling of power handed over to big fists because of strength, not money. I watch the trees, I break a beer bottle on accident I flash the cars over the bridge, I wasn't even that drunk, I am just sad--very tired of feeling nothing. It's just sibling rivalry, and we'll both get over it. my family makes a tall crowd; my mother is 5'10", the shortest we were raised to party, hard, and we entertain, flamboyantly we were raised to clean it up, efficiently, to take responsibility I might be a fool, but at least I'm going to be happy later. That's not guaranteed though, I am sure of that, certainly He might be too jaded to be as successful as he could be. That's not guaranteed though, I am sure of that, certainly.
