a broad smile

Start with a platitude: The more you have, the more that has been taken from you. The equation is never balanced. This is particularly true with memories. The truth is in what is left unsaid. It rests in the double space between sentences, the single spaces between words, the sinewy voids between letters, the enclosed air of an e, or a d, or an a, or an o. U gently slopes up to guide the emptiness toward heaven, V’s broad angles shrapnel out and send the emptiness up to eat heaven alive.

He never went anywhere without at least three dollars in his pocket. This was security. One is vulnerable without at least three dollar’s in one’s pocket. To thee, with thee, for thee, and about thee, never thee unless with a tree, partee!
