"Yes, I mean uh... I don't see um... apart from... in the realms of pathology
how one could feel otherwise. Um, the biological needed dependency to know

on the promise of faraway towns
came clearer today and would not go away
as the wheels lifted off of the ground
"Friday... one forty four a.m."

have any...? you understand?..."
"Friday... one forty five a.m."
"Hey it's me... I'm in route...? I'm at Bubba's place and he wants me to call, bye."
