Choking

"Losing streaks are funny. If you lose at the beginning, you got off to a bad start...in the middle of the season, you're in a slump...at the end, you're choking." ~ Gene Mauch

Dear You,

The last time I wrote, I was in a manic stupor of surging chemistry and then today I can barely hold my eyes open. My brain, rather than being smothered by euphoria, is choking on memories of you. I really wished you could have loved me. You were rather nice to have around.

Love,

Me

Chemical reactions are all that we are.

Hold me tighter.

Open the sweet tides of you.

Kind of a dream.

Is that your name, Sandman?

Nice memories to numb me.

Go 'round my head.
