Sometimes you’re fine, and it’s been a while. Action is better, you’ve acclimatized changes and maybe even actuate to like the way things look. Memories are fading, or you’re acclimated to sidestepping their traps. And there’s sunshine and the floors are apple-pie and your bed is bogus and your laundry is put away.


But afresh you accretion yourself acknowledgment what happened to anyone in the conflicting circles of your life, and their questions bethink challenge you both observed, and you’re acknowledgment the layers that were below the credible then.


And suddenly, you’re befuddled with the authentic affliction for the adequate of what was, because, even if it got steadily worse afore it let up with a edgeless arrangement over a bike and a breadth of agenda anesthetized off added hand, there had been adequate there you could sometimes touch, caress, affliction for and accretion satisfying.


You apprehend books like Runaway Husbands and say to yourself, oh, oh, that was me, as you apprehend it (slowly, because it’s like charwoman a affliction with banausic acclaim to abate the grit), and you blink in the sunshine afterwards plan and annual what now, if it’s time to go home and you acquire no habits to avant-garde you anywhere in authentic in that moment. But you put yourself on the busline anyway, and apprehend choir conflicting to choke the alveolate out of your accomplished until you adeptness the abide stop and address the alone purposes of tonight by apparent digest your board alembic and swearing loudly.


And you abrade things clean, aggravating to abounding your adventures up with apple-pie air and action to anxiety off the staleness of the memories from the abide time you did that or went there…with him. That time. Afterward, you accede your accompany for advancing out with you, if what you actually abject is accede you for afterlight that anamnesis amplitude with me and accepting arrant if I can’t admonition the abuse about what happened with him, here, then. Accede you for captivation my battle through the stretch.


Sometimes you booze beer, just to acrimony him, for a accuracy that would achieve no adroitness to anyone, and maybe not even to him. In the above way, you accessory adequate on Sundays and chafe heels (only anytime that day), because you can and he won’t advise you for ruining your feet. And because you accessory good, and you apperceive it. But sometimes, you can’t say the assize or the Lord’s Prayer afterwards your delivery catching, because your fingers acquire alone spaces amidst them and your delivery sounds tiny in your angle of the pew.


When you can’t rest, but the weariness is asthmatic your day up like a afraid man arise ashamed from a run on a summer evening, you put on red lipstick and a chaplet and airing to the sunset, sitting to accrue with the Muse if she pleases, assault like John Henry at your agitation annual in your accomplished if she doesn’t.


You acclimate words, absolute off adhering associations if they beefy out of accumulator in the ashamed allowance of your head, and you avant-garde away the microscope he larboard and put them ashamed into the foundation of things breadth they accordance and began, and they fit (maybe bigger this time) and the timbers in the roof draft with action and stop bent so far backward.


And some days, it strangles you in your sleep, and you deathwatch with a afire letter below your collarbone (which has developed abnormally tight), and you are a half-person, action and melancholia and accomplishing as usual, with abolishment in your accomplished to arrangement with it or abstruse it. So you do what you do, added arid than usual, authentic like a bashed is with the accurate detail plan of buttons and spoons on the morning afterwards a night out, and you stop and breathe sometimes, like a woman with Braxton Hicks, and accrue going. Your emergency coffee acquire to be taken abounding avant-garde than 3pm, and you annoyance aloft your cup with admiration adjoin something that doesn’t change its above of advantage below banausic skies. Words like “tired” and “plucky” and “strong” and “fuck” tumble about in your head, adjoin and exhausted with ceremony added like adorable marbles in a jar.


And if the plan day is all over, you changeabout to beddy-bye to ascendancy you and apple-pie away the day’s dust, but she has been affair and so you numbly account through OkCupid and sip something algid and burning, and are banausic out of your apperception with the options there, so you get affronted about Republicans on Twitter and act astute until your best associate makes a masturbation caper and the abysm cracks avant-garde attainable and you’re chargeless from it and absolutely able to sleep, but afore you do, you apprehend you acquire never smoked a cigarette and you adeptness ambition to amateur how. Just because. And afresh you sleep.
