unhinged
|
we sat by our lookout. no one else around us understood our conversation but that was they way we liked it. i had already explained a few times that night that our brains were touching each other in a glass jar on some distant planet. what is it about us really noah? "do you get it?" "yes" "of course you get it." you told me you were moving to pa...warren. "what are you talking about? warren is right up the road." "not that warren, warren pennsylvania. i'm going to live with my brother. he said it would help me to get out of the house." "i forgot; you are a wanderer." and you sat on my bed and explained to me with little hand gestures that you had no range of emotion. that everything was confined to a small inch of space between your hands. i never knew you when you weren't talking pills. i have a feeling back then you were a lot more like me. we went outside to smoke one last cigarette together. "i don't know what is about you. when i'm around you i don't have any....inhibitions. is that the right word? you are my ecstasy." when you got up to leave i hugged you and you could just pat me on the sides very lightly. i thought i was suffocating you but i gave you one last squeeze. i could only watch you walk away for about two seconds. "have fun living two and a half hours away." you mumbled something that i couldn't hear.
