won

i
saw
myself
as
a
solemn
child
, shaped
by
a
tenderness
i
never
knew
when
we
were
in
each
other's
lives
.
my
hair
was
parted
in
the
same
place
as
yours
.
another
boy
embraced
you
in
your
parked van.
i
felt
left_out
. "
jump
into
my
free
arm
,"
you
said
.
you
saved
your
strongest
side
for
me
.
as
you
held
two
counterfeit sons
against
your
chest
,
the
camera
cut
to
an
otherwise
empty
parking
lot
.
an
altered
version
of
bruce
springsteen's "
out
in
the
street
" served
as
the
soundtrack
for
the
moment
unmade. "
i
hugged
you
,"
bruce
sang
, "
like
we'd
both
won
the
street
."
but
what
is
the
open
road
worth
when
your
feet
can't
reach
the
throttle?
