I&#8217;ve come back into myself in time for him to leave. My piece came last night and freed me. I feel like my personality&#8217;s been downloaded back into flesh. I can feel my smiles. It&#8217;s like I&#8217;ve been robbed. It could have been a better week, it could have had love and affection and desire. We did what we did. We did <em>well<\/em> with what we had. I can feel him still, he hasn&#8217;t left the city. My mind sees him skinny&nbsp;by the road, his black hoodie up against the weather.&nbsp;The sky looks as if it&#8217;s been erased with a cheap rubber, dark gray smear as if&nbsp;there was once graphite text scrawled messily across cloud. It&#8217;s filthy rain today, nothing clean. He&#8217;s too old to hitchhike, but it&#8217;s&nbsp;happening. He&#8217;s on a bus now, maybe looking out the window. Out to Abbotsford, out to the highway proper. It&#8217;s over when I feel him gone. It&#8217;s over when he&#8217;s gone. <\/p>\n<p>Over being a relative concept. <\/p>\n<p>I can feel myself slipping into&nbsp;post-modern relationship. Time-share serious masquerade. The&nbsp;concept firmly implanted when I was too exhausted to argue. He does it on purpose, I swear. &#8220;No overlap and&nbsp;you&#8217;re fine&#8221;. Dominique&#8217;s going to pin me to the wall. &#8220;All he has to do is leave town&#8221; I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s a good idea. I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s what&#8217;s going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking&#8230;.. maybe finally yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bwahaha.
