1. A pleasing patchwork of Southern Comfort. He structures
   mixed drinks like a sacrament. Strange
   ice cubes in an expensive, tin-roofed bar.
   
2. You choose a site and take measurements.
   An unnatural attachment pushed until the illusion of
   a prospering career grew and popped.
   
3. You wore a blue bomber jacket,
   Marlboro in face, and shoes untied
   to be casual. The orange jeep is parked by a deserted beach.

You’re humming that fucking song that I was so torn up by.
