                  a hot one

one to soothe his body

not to cleanse

               but water has a way of finding the path of least resistance punishes what it finds

think Grand Canyon

think granite rockfaces

                        slabs slivers of itself littering its feet

    cleansed

                  he had conceived ones lifetheir memories his  as an assembly of snapshots cobbled together lifescomputer ZEROES and ONES

                                     his conception

this evening

              oiled slicked lighted by a beeswax tealight candle

episodic not epicsodic

when occasioning with another that relationshipLIFE is a series of snapshots

when someone endures a relationship even at a remove as the majority of his LIFE has been snapshots dont cut it

theyre episodic

his mother his sister

                      telephone calls hours at a time oncetwice a week  years   Seasons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 etc

when they died

their episodes ended

                       when relationships end boyfriendgirlfriendhusbandwifebrothersister employment  other family

common perhaps regrettable fact

he hung spun that thought until the heat left the water breeze through the window chilled him convinced him to empty the bath dry off

                 sent him to bed to read

where he found he was too distracted

he turned off the light

saw it in the dark

                   closed his eyes hand on his cock fell asleep

where dreamic episodes entertained him

LIFE is beginnings and endings of episodes

    hes learning
