Don’t talk to strangers. Don’t do drugs. Don’t smoke. Don’t drink & drive. Don’t have sex. Wear a condom. Wear sunblock. Wear a seatbelt. Wear a helmet. If you see something, say something. Just say no. Stop, drop, and roll. Stop, look, and listen. Look both ways before you cross the street…

Safety is an illusion. Bad things can happen to anyone at any time, whether you follow the rules or not.

You can check left, check right, check left again before you step off the curb and into the crosswalk, but that won’t stop an anonymous asshole in his shitty pickup from putting you in intensive care…

Sloppy firsts

  • Jessica: You once called me sloppy firsts.
  • Marcus: What?!
  • Jessica: You did.
  • Marcus: That's offensive. And it doesn't even make sense. I mean, I've heard of sloppy seconds, but sloppy firsts? I guess I didn't know what to say to you, so I just said something stupid to fill the void. Something like Blame Byron! ... Sloppy firsts. What does that even mean?
  • Jessica: I don't know, either, and I've been spending the last ten years trying to figure it out.

XII. He writes

I like the way you

Fingertip-tap the paper

To count syllables


XIII. She writes

I like the way you

Silently lip-sync the words

To count syllables


XIV. He writes

So you’ve noticed, then

(I wonder what else you see

When you look at me)


XV. She writes

How about those Mets?

(Only what my heart can take)

How about those Mets?

“ The stories teach them valuable life lessons. That good things happen to bad people. That it’s possible to make a bad situation even worse if you don’t think it through. That parents are clueless except when they’re not. That it’s good to try new things even when a new thing is kind of disgusting, because new experiences make you a well-rounded person. That art can be transcendent. That lust is all-powerful, that drugs are fun, and that not everyone who does them is a loser. That losing people is part of life. That where comedy goes, tragedy isn’t far behind. That everyone has issues with their bodies, but some take it too far, almost to death. That fear can be exhilarating. That boys are assholes. That it’s important to look forward and never look back…
