Things that lead up to this: I tease you for playing Dungeons and Dragons, then say all young girls act like whores, especially her; I hold your hand to console you, feeling the stiff flesh that creeps up your wrist; you take 6 shots; I make you nachos; you go home cheerful, then wrap a cable around pipes in the ceiling, your feet touching the floor, knees bent, skin turning grayish pink, like the belly of a fish.
