I was raised on grain alcohol and prayer. And if that's not a powerful combination, I don't know what is. I blow up volcanoes daily, So, you really shouldn't of come as a surprise. I realize I can't play cards, or board games well. But I'm the best liar you ever saw. I also know well enough to know these words are inert - they don't mean a thing. Like this hand on my thigh, what's the use? But the hand, like the eye, has it's purpose. So, who am I to interrupt it's job? A mouths job, on the other hand, is never done. From the wine it sips, to the licking of lips. It's the only anchor keeping me from your seas. But alas, I have retired my spectacles. My bleak eyes have grown old. So, I keep them closed these days, pretending it's you I hold. For blind, or for worse... the better to dream of you, my dear.
