Life is a little w e i r d, and we are all a little w.e.i.r.d.. and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatable with ours, we join together in a mutal weirdness and call its l.o.v.e<3

it's like when you
open one of those
greeting cards that sing
in a silent grocery store
and you SNAP close it
because you broke that
hear-a-pin-drop silence
and you THUD put it back
in a flash on the shelf
glancing over your shoulder
praying no one noticed
