raze
some
questions
elicit responses
because
of
the
way
they're
dressed
,
breaking
all
of
god's
groceries
.
this
is
the
difference
between
coming
and
going
,
landing
and
leaving
.
but
it's
not
exactly
true
.
and
the
truth
is
dependent
on
lies
.
every
lid
or
jar
is
just
a
memory
of
something
she's
done
before
.
she
doesn't
have
the
guts
to
befriend
or
besmirch
a
carefully selected
kiss
.
this
is
a
war
not
far
from
my
mind
.
you
can
die
out
of
spite,
but
you
can't
live
for
anyone
but
yourself
.
