In The Name of Atonement

It was wrong

from the beginning

you knew it

and so did I

But grass always seems to die a little bit later than we need it to--

and so did our logic

our compass

our memory of soap in the mouth whilst in front of the vanity mirror

for 14 minutes

I spent them stargazing at the tray

but we were remembering them all

again

for the wrong reasons

like we did--

from the get go
