a working list of words

i go down the list

and with a wide black pen

begin to strike

out the words i no longer use

or care about.

jealousy is one.

suspicion another,

love.

worry.

anxiety.

marriage.

living together, two words.

paranoid.

guilt.

shame.

there's more words where

these came from.

but this list will have to do

for now.
