INNOCENCE




As simple as pulling the trigger.



As obvious as history.



Drove down deserted side streets

in the fading light of December

until we found the door.



Fucked on a cold wood floor

until we bled.



Called it joy,

because silence was an admission

of guilt.



Called it pure,

because nothing we owned

would ever wash clean.



No one we knew ever really cared

when it was finally over.



The world was already full of

obvious stories

with unhappy endings.
