my love for my brother is an inside joke, too smart for everyone else.

my love for charles rides the rails, surviving on biscuits and ham.

my love for my enemy picks fights just to make peace.

my love for my patients is also a paycheck.

my love for my bus driver is born of necessity.

my love for norman mourns the rain.

my love for myself is supposed to die.
