Hospitals and mountains

Everything leads up to this adds up to this position where you think you'll be alone forever but fairly soon if not exactly next week you will meet someone in a park or stuck in traffic They will set your flesh alight slowly much too slowly and it will seem like bad behaviour you will feel as if as if you are harbouring an infection You will be together for five years and six months through violent happiness and time zones and locations such as hospitals and mountains After which you will think you are recovered having acquired a liquid grace and social ease friends will say you seem younger less precious Now take this pill you must forget this will ever happen
