distance will swallow us for breakfast one day.
we are sitting side by side, drinking coffee, but you are talking about your morning jog and i am telling you about the time i drank too much and let a stranger take me away from my friends and how i was sure i was going to die that night but the only thing i felt was excitement.
you are passing me the receipt for the groceries and i am handing you the letters i wrote to god when i was 15 and scared.
you are cracking eggs into the pan and i am laughing about how when the worst thing happened, i didnt even cry.
you are trying to do the normal things and i am digging up the memories and dumping them on the kitchen table.
these are the places ive been and they are mostly awful, but they have made notches in my spine and you hear it creak every time i stand.
this will swallow us for breakfast one day.
