if i didn't care

Can a creative person
have no trauma in his past?
Does head trauma count?
Or a toxic river?
I learned to swim in sludge.

What doesn't kill you
~~makes you stranger~~
will try again later.

MARLENE.

I … DIDN’T EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE.

AFTER YOU LEFT ME AND MOVED OFF TO BERLIN WITH THAT PAINTER I ASSUMED WE’D NEVER MEET AGAIN.

I SPENT SOME MONTHS AT SEA … TRYING TO FORGET YOU. I DABBLED IN OPIATES …

MY GOD YOU LOOK STUNNING.
