i don’t know if she understands what being tired means. this isn’t the first time. and it probably won’t be the last. it gets strangely exciting, and excitingly strange. every time. where does she get that much energy from? and why don’t i have it? so i’m laid back, they say. but to whose advantage?

we looked at each other from three metres. then we both entered our vehicles. we drove parallel to each other.

one north, one south.

are you ok?

no.

and that was that.

we both drove off.

one north, one south.

i don’t get tired of fighting. and i don’t fight because i’m tired.

i’m tired because i’m tired. i fight because i fight.

the good fight.

hopefully to both our advantage.
