The solution manual
The answer to no. 42 is,
And in a lot of ways doesn't matter,
But the answer is
A kiss behind the closed door,
On the fourth floor.
And the breath you ferreted away
And the chewing gum exchanged
And the fact that it will happen again.
No 63. concerns faith
you have it or you don't.
I stole faith from your tongue
and the breadth of the hunger alive in your jeans
that means we are aware of the sin.
And I persist in insisting that
your reddened lips are
the mark of a beast. I am a beast in these ways
touching something between us that revolves.
the errant admission. the casual acceptance. we were just boys and
I forget the
answer
but it was to no. 42
76 might be the matter entirely
the sting of a betrayal. Lye on an open wound / the burning
and
the salve of clean sheets scrubbed pure - meaning:
it's alright if the means meet at the end and shake on it
like gentlemen.
He is 76, we are lettered and not the same
Defunct in our disaster and he is innocent of all this.
And the good die young.
And the wicked live forever.
Fair is fair only if there really is a forever,
and we remember.
