Finally you just started smiling. I thought it was going to take all afternoon.
It’s rare but maybe you were born without it. Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.
And I’m going to leave in a minute. Arcadia.
Your mom and dad are together in the kitchen. You can smell it, they made way too much food again. Your loss, because we’re eating and drunk with laughter. Your sister is dancing, she looks just like a flower. I’m going to leave in a minute. Arcadia.
No. You weren’t born with that condition. I know because it’s right there on your sleeve. You can hide, but you can’t live without it. A heart, that’s an impossible arcadia. Come out. Come here. Spread all over. Arcadia.
