he laughs
and says
you're drunk
as i pour another drink
and i say
but thank god there are people out there who care enough not to care
and he laughs too
as we talk about the span of the week
i think about the people who currenly fill up my life with joy and other unnameable qualities
and he says
you are the most ridiculous person i know
and i take that as a compliment
as much as i know how
