she came home and we talked for three hours
and there is nothing better than this
except to be together for three hours,
and nothing crazier than this,
or nothing crazier than you
and a two a m conversation
that covered everything,
the joke i keep repeating but never quite right.
if there is proof that things
are not as bad as they
almost feel, that we can more than deal
with the situation we fid ourselves in,
then that is it, and this is it.
