we here define courtesy
by the beauty of weekday faces
and monday mornings
wet shower hair and shampoo
ungloved winter hands and bare feet.
you look like you should be in bed,
sweet and undone,
pale light drifting 'cross your face.
and i measure time in summers and the number of repeats
a song takes before it loses its power;
the number of days it takes for me to wish you ill,
because i am a coward and a liar;
the surprise attacks of love that take place
over warmth, heads on shoulders, and nervous violins;
the stretch of realization
that we have a very long time to live
and very many years to stand on stages alone
rehearsing lines we'll never ever say

If I could I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure

FairyTales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that the dragon can be killed.
