when
i
was
a
delivery driver
i
had
one
shift
a
week
at
the
store
in
lakewood,
a
high
end
community
on
a
lake
with
no
docks
and
matching
houses
.
when
it
was
just
the
beginning
of
spring
,
the
lake
would
un-freeze
and
the
air
was
still
so
cold
but
the
sun
was
bright
and
the
sky
was
bright
and
the
clouds
were
blowing
quick
.
i
liked
rounding
the
corner
then
driving
really
slow
across
the
dam,
under
the
guise
of
caution
,
but
i
really
just
wanted
to
look
at
the
water
.

called
Lakewood
but
it
is
neither
on
a
lake
nor
near
any
wood

way
she
looks
at

and
asks

going
.
like
she
really
wants
to
know

The
way
psychosis
brushed
its
lips
so
softly
against
mine
and
made
me
believe
it
could
tell
me
the
secrets
of
the
universe
.
