And so we float girl, you and I. Anchorless without our loves, anchored by our duty to do what is right. And so we float on a series of planks, waiting to be rescued by the lives we abandoned. The lives we got into with open eyes, and get back to with eyes shut tight in denial.
Our intelligence collides at some point. You are who he was, I know what he might be like. We don’t cry on each other’s shoulder, we laugh. Hysteria has set in, a mix of helplessness at the situation, and wry acceptance of the pointlessness of tears. And so, together, we laugh. We laugh hard and long, seeing the invisible L shining on our foreheads. And so we float. Float to nowhere.
