Invisibly
        She sat miserably
In a bubble of space and time

   He was on the other side
       Drowning in whiskey
And anything else he could find

        Back to back
Instead of face to face
        Their choices
     Sculpted design

                  And the misery
                  Lived infinitely
In the backs of their tortured minds

As the dust settled
On the shelves middle
A polish somehow arived

      And they were wiped
          From their sorrys
        And belated armies
That never fought for their lives
