"I thought I understood it,
that I could grasp it,
but I didn't,
not really.
Only the smudgeness of it;
the pink-slippered,
all- containered,
semi-precious eagerness of it.
I didn't realize it would sometimes be more than whole,
that the wholeness was rather luxurious idea.
Because it's the halves that halve you in half.
I didn't know,
don't know,
about the in-between bits;
the gory bits of you,
and the gory bits of me.
Drake Doremus & Ben York Jones
