Great Endings Like Early Beginnings

My tea is sour and cold
And oh, what the hell?
iTunes froze.

Three teaspoons and that medicine still can't get down
He's so sexy when he smiles.

I can handle the truth;
When it dresses in disguises.
When it resides in Biblical passages;
When strewn over human lips.

I can handle the truth;
When it tries to hide from me.
I find it in poems, in paintings;
Cowering in words, imitating lies.

I can handle the truth;
When it drowns in tears.
When it fills the air, the sky;
When it's in the ground, in the water.

Yes, I handle the truth;
In the deepest elements of Earth.
In the cavernous life of man;
In the blatancy of nature.

Can the truth handle me?
When I chase it down;
Searching for it, coveting it.
When it tries to be gentle;
Cradling me, letting me down easy.

When it feels the warm salt of tears;
When it watches the cringe of pain.
When it kills, back stabs, leads me on.
When it knows how I feel and knows that he caused it.

I can handle the truth, but the truth can't handle me.

East Side

Basically I forgot my camera, but we filled our day with icy sidewalks, over priced merch, and lovely memories of Milwaukee. Tomorrow, Milk.
