the sigh

pierced silence.

our breathing

wasn't anything

different

than those other people

in other houses

on other streets

doing the same

as us.

we are not special.

this is not special.

it's just another

tip

in 

the 

jar.
i shake my head
back and forth
starring at my feet
"goddamn you've been such a fool"
and you'd do it again
i know i would.
"goddamn you've been such a fool"
"goddamn you've been such a fool..."
on and on like this
until i close it off.
tie it up
and throw it far into the river.
