A4:

we present
heart

honest-to-god-soul

and it’s in there,
ask Justin

we used to stand out on the patio-deck
of his tree-house
and scream into the night

we were just a lonely
pair
looking for a couple of
females
with a thought process
like ours

we only ever ended up
with each other, though.

except for that night
of Xanex and airports.
