jim gave a heavy sigh, the kind that course through his body and undid him. it makes a liar out of you, he wanted to say; it swallows you whole. but he still buried his body beneath an avalanche of lies; he still woke and found he couldn’t recognize his hands. that voice catches on desperation and jim feels it shudder through his body, threaten to bloom into fear of his own. ( boy, you know fear better than your knuckles / you breathe fear / you body runs fear-quick. ) “ i guess -- you have to be honest with yourself, about how you want to live. who you want to be. i dunno, man. i’m in the same situation. i guess all we can do is try. ”
