I picked him a rose to remember me by. A crimson bloom of passion promised . The engine ticking over, keen to race into the dawn. Furtive glances at the timepiece. Tolerated. Why should I feel tolerated? A task to be endured like taking out the garbage. Getting stains out of a sheet. I know I joke a little but we had fun him and me. Every clown has a silver lining right? A brief salute two fingers to a brow. And in a roaring cloud he's on his way. Petals left, discarded like a post ****** ***** Crushed into the gutter at my feet. Pancakes for breakfast. Coffee. Silence.

ONE NIGHT STAND
I picked him a rose to remember me by. A crimson bloom of passion promised . The engine ticking over, keen to race into the dawn. Furtive glances at the timepiece. Tolerated. Why should I feel tolerated? A task to be endured like taking out the garbage. Getting stains out of a sheet. I know I joke a little but we had fun him and me. Every clown has a silver lining right? A brief salute two fingers to a brow. And in a roaring cloud he's on his way. Petals left, discarded like a post ****** ***** Crushed into the gutter at my feet. Pancakes for breakfast. Coffee. Silence.
