i'll figure it out later

halfway

into the book, i come across

several

pages

stuck to each other

by some

spill

of a drink,

or rain

storm leaking in.

i can't separate them

without

tearing

them apart. it's where

the meat of

the story

unfolds, the denouement,

but

i move on.

i skip ahead.

i forgive

and forget. the movie

comes out

tomorrow.
