HS: life gets in the way... take care, _.

WS: i want to see you again


but life gets in the way. and we get broken hearted.

fiends of helen

do not link me

thank you for making it

the cruel gift

as lately as last
night. i recieved a beauty
of faked time, stop

watch, 3 pm. the
lovely thought of a friend who's
not in the exchange

of the giving
repertoire. adel and i.
she got a book neck-

lace. ay, that's the rub
everyone knows i collect
books. it escapes me

why one gifting me
would make a watch over a
book? it upsets me

the entitlement
could have not been. i might
have no gift at all.

yet i am upset
perhaps i've attached too much
significance to

the symbolic book
form. alex might talk me out
and make me realize

how silly i've been
but alex, was another
cruel gift.

the beautiful stop
watch. alice paused in wonder
land. forbidden to

i invite you
