But you and Leslie like to hold hands and jump off of cliffs together into the great unknown. You two have a good relationship. I don&rsquo;t personally know what that&rsquo;s like, but I am given to understand it means you&rsquo;re gonna land on your feet.<br /> <br /> - R.S.

Scattered bits of my mother's heart are on the carpet.

She used to feed them to me,

Hoping I'd give them back to her one day,

But I couldn't and I wouldn't,

So I let them roll off me like raindrops.
