Joe

is it a decision that comes upon one quickly
or one that was perfectly planned
waited out
pursued

dave was cooking dinner, pancakes flopping
with Marie
smiling, eyes watering when it was her turn at the table

and as soon as we were casually strolling to the garage
to eat around the table

he was gone.

In fact I watched him go and felt this wierd twinge this time 
about this cigarette break

I was getting another pancake and I watched the door close behind him
would it have changed anything if I had asked him 
why a cigarette break now?

2. 
Maris is quiet on the couch
like a rock

blinking hurredly, assuring me that she's okay

pray strength into her because I dont know the first thing
about fighting addiciton
