I took a drug the other day.
It cost me just under AUD$2000.
I am not normally accustomed to such expensive thrills, such momentary pleasures – yet this was one I’d been planning for a while – months even – the seed of desire germinating slowly through long and endless days of corporate video-work and semi-permanent alcohol consumption.

I am severing ties.
I am archiving.
I am examining possessions; purging as necessary.
I am packing boxes; labeling them “Ages 17-21,” storing them in an overflowing garage.
I am spending quality time with friends; going bowling, playing poker, reminiscing.
I am seeing old lovers; going for coffee, having dinner, reminiscing.
I am reexamining priorities; quitting jobs, getting references, updating my CV.
I am bored; without Jess.
I am drinking; by myself, in my room, everyday.
I am sober; with other people, at meetings, every(other)day.
I am losing grandparents; expectedly, surprisingly, incrementally.
I am leaving town; saying goodbye, smiling inwardly, promising correspondence.
