[[>]] [[module Rate]] [[/>]] i'm a young boy, and my father is sitting me down to tell me about how son, the world is full of screaming and wailing and women who say they love you and then leave you for some yuppie fuck who moves a lot of money around in new york, and i'm staring at him blankly, my only thoughts on when mom will come home with dinner. i'm beneath the blinding fluorescence again, i look around and a man is there, dressed in black, staring at me silently. i'm a young man, trying to explain to my uncle that no, i'm not a lazy good-for-nothing, dad's just an alcoholic piece of shit who can't deal with stepmom being gone and takes it out on me and can you please let me stay here until i can get on my feet again. the man offers me a cigarette, i tell him that i don't smoke and he puts it in his mouth instead. i'm not as young a man, sitting in my apartment with a big bowl of kraft dinner, staring at the phone waiting for it to ring. the man stares at me. the phone never rings. he's not moving. i guess he has to be breathing because he's smoking but i can't see the rising and falling of his chest. it's the end of my senior year, i just got out of this party with my girlfriend and she's taking me to this beautiful lake out in the forest where we'll hold hands and look at the stars until the sun comes up in the early morning and wipes the night sky away like bugs off a windshield. he reaches out and puts his hand on my shoulder. i close my eyes. i rest.
