I.
Don’t
fall.
Falling
is inevitably followed by crashing.
-Instead,
Fold into each other
--Grow
out of one another
II.
Drink
Jameson and dance to reggae
Discover you both love mint chocolate
chip its-its
dream of raising a boxer/pit puppy
Share
music, and books—fall in love with his books
III.
Smoke
a spliff & watch him draw
Love
the concentration and care in his eyes while he works
Fall
asleep listening to sound of his pencils dance on paper
IV.
Have
a naked shoulder ride to the vaulted ceiling of a rented Memphis room on a
determined mosquito hunt.
Fall
to the bed laughing satisfied with the promise of a buzz free nights sleep.
V.
Feed
each other fried pickles
VI.
Share
ghost stories and Ethiopian food.
VII.
Get
caught in the rain driving through Georgia.
Watch
lightening hit the highway.
VIII.
Tell
each other cheesy things in redneck southern accents
“I
love you like a biscuit loves butter, like Nawlins loves jazz…”
IX.
Give
yourself permission.
