I haven't seen you in so long that now you are pronouncing cucumber weird and I am wondering if you've been doing it forever or if it is new.

from now on...

emo songs and long emails.
complacency and complicity. 

discussing Life: A User's Manual by Georges Perec.
fussing over The Hatred of Poetry by Ben Lerner.

later on...

listening to Hey Lover by The Daughters of Eve.
learning from Running Shoes by Jess Kallen. 

losing our minds in an orchard.
locking our bikes up behind the mall. 

pros and cons...

romanticizing railroads.
wondering together why all running shoes are hideous. 

resolving to the fact that love may be behind us.
being okay with what's in front of us.
