The Conversation

(I'm Cool with Walking)

so, do you have any loves?

no.

how come?

  I’ve lost the nerve for battle.

love is not a battle.

  then i guess I've never
  been in love, cause they
  all felt like battles to me.

are you at least looking?

  you mean the interview process?
          trying each other on for size? no,
          i am not holding auditions.

so that’s it, you just give up?

  there comes a point in your life
          when you realize that the bus doesn't  
          stop here anymore and it’s time to
          walk and see what there is to see
          without having to explain to someone
          else what the fuck you're doing.

what the hell does that mean?

  it means i’m cool with walking.

well, thats depressing.

  i’m hungry. you ready to order?

sure.
