Intellections crawl to plead for back-pedaling of 
inaugural camaraderie and its flight to another fix
when happiness came in effortlessly as hurting. The
smaze of another assembly swamps you, pushing me
to ponder how little we control. Infuriation in this 
context is a sincere emotion, but misplaced. Frottage 
in public: Vent of unfulfilled thighs butting in on an 
unknown. As with expectations.
