Our quiet dispositions made for a double-edged sword, as we sat on blood-stained sheets, littered with stems and shredded tobacco bits. Listening to "Blowing It" by Dinosaur Jr. I realized I, too, didn't know a thing to say to you. We seemed similar, in a way to a certain extent. He had a stick and poke on his thigh that said "NO" and we ****** Casually. ======================================================================== "I think you're cute and I like that you're tall." "I think you're cute too and it's nice that you like that." ======================================================================== We smoked spliffs and talked about how it was nice to be dating multiple people. And what it's like to have a sugar mama, And that crack is an underrated drug, And that I should meet more people who like The Velvet Underground, And how we both like beer, IPAs, And how I smelled nice, And how I shouldn't have chosen "Women" of Bukowski's to read first, And that he should read "Slaughterhouse-Five", and I was willing to give him my copy (The blood on my sheets wasn't mine, he had skinned knees.) It was odd, but also nice, to meet someone with a similar disposition to me, but there was nothing incendiary to hang on to, more just a slow warmth.

I'll text him, maybe, when I get a phone again.
